My mom and dad met at the Starlight Drive In. Mom was the Pizza maker and dad was a projectionist. Virgie was my first love. She looked so glamorous there at the ticket window with her white hair and red lipstick and red earrings. Garland was also so nice. Mom and Dad would pop a Lowes grocery bag of popcorn at home to take with us to the movies. They just had their 50th ann this past Nov
