I managed this for a short time around 84-88, shortly after United Artists decided to go manager / operator. While I was there we went from full price to $1.00 tickets showing older movies. We did okay selling tickets and quite well in the concessions. I remember Fred as great guy to work with, but hated changes. He was completely against the upgrade to the platters and didn’t believe it would work. After a few hundred miles of film on the floor we got the bugs worked out. It was a great place to work and if anyone remembers me, please contact me. Jim reed
