What a great story! I went back to those very days while I was reading it. You are right Goser! We go to Long Prairie for the Drive in every year. Check it out at http://www.thelongdrivein.com It’s cheaper than the indoor theatres ($5 adult). If you go to the concession stand; and who wouldn’t, most nights you will actually get to see the film on the big horizontal spools where it is fed from and to the projector!
