We used also to go to the State Theater where in 1960 we saw "The Time Machine" with Rod Taylor; but the Paramount was a special place.

We used to live in Anderson in 1960 and 61 and attend movies at this theater and at the Riviera across the street. Saturday mornings we would have a drawing for a Schwinn bicycle sponsored by a local dairy. We saw "Enemy From Space" here and "Ice Palace" and many other films. We used to live at 1210 Home Avenue, and I believe it is the only house that has survived on the block. We went to St. Mary's school and church. I knew kids with names like Jerry Jordan and Skippy Moppin and Dickie Lukens.
