October 5, 2012

We had a busy day at the Lone Pine Film Festival.  While Bill was watching Westerns at the High School Auditorium, Jo and I went to the Film Museum for a video presentation about Dale Evans.  It was a very well done video.

The three of us went to the craft show at the park.  We had planned to eat lunch at the Lions Club barbecue, but couldn’t find it.  We finally found out that it had been canceled, but nobody thought to pass the word around.

Bill decided to walk home to eat, and leave the car for us.  Jo and I were going to Karls Jr.  When we got ready to drive back to the coach I discovered that I didn’t have my car keys.  So-o-o-o we walked home.  

It turned out to be a good thing, because there were information signs out along the way that told some of the history of Lone Pine.  When Bill got out of his afternoon movie, he walked back to get the car.  We are all getting some exercise.

Jo and I went to a showing of a very old movie, “Dudes Are Pretty People.”  It was just about as bad as the title makes it sound, but we were glad to have seen it.  Some of the acting in those really old movies was lame, to say the least.

We stayed on after it ended to hear a presentation by Ed Faulkner who was in several movies with John Wayne.  He also had many stories to tell about other actors.  It was interesting, although I couldn’t always hear him very well.

We went back to the museum for a presentation about Roy Rogers given by his daughter.  It was a well done video.  She had a lot of interesting experiences about growing up in the Hollywood scene.

Back at the coach, Jo made potato soup.  We had French bread to go with it and date bread for dessert.  The evening’s entertainment was more episodes of Zorro, plus a lot of time to visit.
