THE SEASON COMES TO ANOTHER END THIS SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE.... 

61 DRIVE-IN THEATRE

IT WAS A GOOD YEAR FOR MOVIES, ESPECIALLY "THE LION KING".

IT WAS THE  FIRST MOVIE TO SHOW OUT THERE FOR 4 WEEKS.

THIS YEAR, NEW TICKET BOOTH, TREES DOWN, UPGRADED MEN'S REST 

ROOM TO BE FASTER, TRAIN NEEDED MAJOR REPAIRS, NEW AIR CONDITIONER

FOR THE PROJECTOR ROOM....AND SO IT GOES.

MY 48TH YEAR!!     THANKS TO ALL OF  YOU THAT CAME THIS SEASON.

HE HAD EXECUTIVE POSITION AT CLINTON ENGINES AND WHEN THEY CLOSED, HE WAS A SALESMAN FOR

JOHN WAGENER, CARL ROTMAN AND ROSS RIVER. 

HAS BEEN LIVING IN ARIZONA FOR MANY YEARS

WITH HIS WIFE SHIRLEY, A CLINTON NATIVE.

MY SYMPATHY TO SHIRLEY.   HE AND SHIRLY BOTH

FRIDAY DAILY

I WAS AT LAKE GENEVA, WISCONSIN, THIS WEEK TUESDAY-THURSDAY,  ATTENDING
THE ANNUAL MIDWEST NATO CONVENTION.    NATO....NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
THEATRE OWNERS....CONVENTION WAS HELD THERE AS IN PAST YEARS AT THE GENEVA CENTER, WITH CLOSE TO 500 ATTENDING.    IT WAS A NICE
EVENT AT A GREAT LARGE  HOTEL (AT ONE TIME A PLAYBOY CLUB) AND NANCY AND I ENJOYED GOOD FOOD AND WE SAW MANY TRAILERS OF UPCOMING MOVIES.
A BIG VARIETY OF MOVIES IS COMING  THIS YEAR AND NEXT,  AND MANY LOOK TO
BE HITS.    NATO NATIONAL HAS SEVERAL REGIONAL CHAPTERS AND THE MIDWEST
CHAPTER IS MADE UP OF IOWA AND SIX OTHER STATES.    EACH YEAR, THREE
THEATRE PEOPLE THAT HAVE BEEN IN THE BUSINESS FOR MANY YEARS ARE INDUCTED INTO THE MIDWEST HALL OF FAME.    I WAS ONE OF THOSE TO RECEIVE THE HONOR YESTERDAY.     I'VE BEEN A THEATRE OWNER FOR 48 YEARS.    FOR MORE ABOUT NATO, THEATRE BUSINESS AND THE HALL OF FAME.....GOOGLE GENEVA CONVENTION OR BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE.
THE ABOVE PHOTO IS OF THE CRYSTAL ENGRAVED GIFT I WAS PRESENTED.

MY ACCEPTANCE SPEACH WAS AROUND 10-12 MINUTES.   I WAS NERVOUS, BUT IT
WENT WELL.   NICE COMMENTS AFTER.

IT WAS A FUN WEEK.    A GREAT  HONOR.     MY THANKS TO THOSE WHO NOMINATED ME AND TO THE MANY NICE COMMENTS RECEIVED AT THE CLOSE OF CONVENTION
AND LOCALLY SINCE GETTING HOME..... ON THE PHONE AND FACEBOOK.
NANCY WAS WITH ME AND ALSO ENJOYED THE CONVENTION.    GRANDDAUGHTER SARA CLASEN DROVE UP FOR YESTERDAY'S DINNER AND SURPRISED ME.   SHE TOOK
PHOTOS ABOVE.       LAKE GENEVA  (3 HOURS FROM HERE)  IS A BEAUTIFUL  CITY FOR TOURISTS.
NOW......I'M AGAIN "CHARGED-UP" FOR ANOTHER YEAR OF SUPER MOVIES ON THE BIG SCREENS DOWNTOWN AND AT THE DRIVE-IN.
