August 2, 1963

Comment: The union must have called and Dad got at least one day of work. Sounds like steady work on construction in the summer of 1963 was an "iffy" thing. When I think about it, the Village of Middleburgh played a large part in our life on the hill. It had the closest movie theater and a kid's ticket was 25 cents.

I always wish that Middleburgh still had a movie theater. It is such a cute town but doesn't have quite enough to make people go there (except Hubie's of course!).

I miss the movie theater and Ben Franklin's, you could always find what you needed and then some. They still sell penny candy somewhere, because my kids bought some, of course you need a microscope to see it.
