THE NEW LOOK AT MY THEATRE! THE LEFT BUILDING (THE CHIEF
THEATRE IN 1950) WAS THE CINEMA ICE CREAM SHOP (OPENED IN 1981) AND LATER CHANGED TO CINEMA MOVIE RENTALS. IT CLOSED A FEW YEARS AGO
AND HAS BEEN USED FOR CONCESSION SUPPLIES. TO THE BACK OF THIS BUILDING IS THE SMALL VOY 3 THEATRE THAT NOW HAS THE 77 NEW SEATS. AND THE FRONT WINDOWS ARE USED TO ADVERTISE OUR UPCOMING MOVIES WITH LARGE MOVIE POSTERS SUPPLIED BY THE FILM COMPANIES.
THE OLD BLUE COLOR WAS GETTING FADED AND WAS IN NEED OF PAINTING. NOW, THE COLOR TIES IN WITH THE THEATRE NEXT DOOR. NOT A BIG PROJECT, BUT AN IMPROVEMENT FOR DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA.

CHRIS PANCAKES MADE BREAKFAST FOR OVER 400 ON FATHER'S DAY AT THE MAQUOKETA AIRPORT. FLIPPED A LOT OF THEM TO NEARBY WAITING PLATES TOO. THE BREAKFAST WAS SPONSORED BY THE MAQUOKETA ROTARY CLUB.

REMEMBER A COUPLE DAYS AGO ON THIS DAILY WHEN I PUT UP A PHOTO OF
A CHAIR THAT WAS USED FOR TWO DAYS AT THE VIETNAM MOVING WALL
BY THE WIFE OF A SERVICEMAN LISTED ON THE WALL? ABOVE, SHE IS PAT SCHROEDER BARNES OF MT. VERNON, IOWA AND POINTS TO THE NAME OF HER HUSBAND, JERRY. SHE SAID HE WAS A GREEN BERET IN THE SPECIAL FORCES AND DIED IN VIETNAM IN JANUARY OF 1968. SHE DID NOT SIT IN THAT CHAIR
FOR THE ENTIRE 48 HOURS BECAUSE SHE IS DISABLED AND SO SPENT THE
NIGHTS AT A MAQUOKETA MOTEL. SHE ALSO WAS IN THE SERVICE AND SPENT 18 YEARS IN THE U.S. ARMY. SHE AND JERRY WERE MARRIED IN OCTOBER
OF 1967 AND SPENT JUST 3 DAYS TOGETHER BEFORE HE WAS SENT TO
VIETNAM AND HE WAS WOUNDED DECEMBER, SENT TO TEXAS IN THE BURN UNIT AND DIED THAT JANUARY.
QUITE A STORY!
