My girlfriend was working at the State Theater at the candy counter and
only one child was hit in the head from falling bricks, she wasn't
killed. But the kids left behind their shoes.
Of the 41 people killed that day, none were at the theater. I have a
newspaper special in my hand showing everyplace someone was killed.
Could someone tell Jeanette in Oklahoma that there is no BRIDGEFORD on
the list of 41.

I remember it well, as I'm sure do others. It was in downtown
Richmond
and some that were killed were children in a movie theater. After
that,
my mother wouldn't let me ride the bus to downtown Dayton to go
to
theaters with my friends! I was allowed to go downtown with them on
the
bus, but wasn't supposed to go to the movies! I did it anyway and
I
did
get caught. : )
