Hi M Anastas,
I worked with your Father, George when he was the Manager at the Metro…where I was a projectionist… and after the Metro closed, I again worked with him at the Cinema George where I was a projectionist there also. Cec Walburn at the Metro and Hec White at the Cinema George were also in the bio box at the time.
Your Dad used to give me parcels and the keys to his little two door Fiat to take parcels over to Bowen Hills among other places.
I really enjoyed the company of your Father….we was more like a good friend than my boss. I respected him greatly as did many other work colleagues.
My Dad worked as a projectionist at the Metro in the 40’s and my Mum worked across the road at the St James as an usherette.
They met and as you can see, I am the result.
If you have any old photos, I’d love to see them. My Mum and Dad both in their 80’s are still going strong and I am sure would also like the memories.
My email is .au
Bye for now and very best regards
Brad
