I worked at the theatre during the mid 70’s and I loved climbing the ladder sticking out onto Sunrise Highway and changing the marquee. We would get paid for two hours worth of work to do the marquee regardless of how long it took to do it. Climbing up during a sleet storm wasn’t very fun but back then movies hung around for a lot longer than they do now and we didn’t have to do it that often. The movies used to change on Wednesday so I’d be up on the ladder on Tuesday night. My teachers at school would always give me grief on Wednesday morning if I didn’t have my homework done because they had seen me up on the ladder the night before.
