Oz Davids remembered, "e drive-in movies at the Rec Center — that was
a highlight when we were kids. You had a little bench or a box to sit on or you
could sit in your car. Occasionally, we might take a date, you know — you might
have a little sweetheart you would ask.
"Floyd Matter's dad showed the movies outside. ey were real movies. Floyd
would come around and collect money for his dad aer the show. It was very
informal, but it was wonderful!"
