I am trying to contact Marjorie Reynolds. I attended Indiana University where I received my Masters Degree in 1968. My landlord was the owner of the Town Cinema in Bloomington as well as the Starlite Drive In south of town. I worked at both theaters during my college days. After reading “Starlite”, I am certain that is the drive in where I worked. I now live in Olympia, Washington not that far from Camano Island.
