In high school, I worked for Mr. Phil Scoville (Davids' dad?)in 1978 and would drive him and his wife to the theatre (from Geneseo) a couple times a week to do repairs on speakers and deliver the candy and new films. Good memories! I remember he told me the next summer I could manage the place and live on the property but I moved to Fl and have been here ever since.
