A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE!

          A CHRISTMAS SURPRISE!

     Christmas season is a great time for

surprises and my wife and I got one

yesterday. We were headed to our favorite

movie theater, the Dietrich in Tunkhannock

to see the new version of "West Side Story."

I got a late start and wasn't sure if we'd get

there in time to see the beginning of the movie.

As it happens we didn't see any of the movie!

We showed up on the day the Dietrict was 

offering its annual showing of the classic "It's

A Wonderful Life!" The theater is all decked

out for the Christmas and the atmosphere is

beautiful. And to make matters even better,

the movie admission was free as was the

popcorn and a drink! There were three free

showing in all yesterday and that's in addition

toseveral other holiday related movies the

Dietrck, through local sponsors, offer free to

the public. There was total silence as the

audience watched the feature, which most

everyone has seen many times. Then, thunderous

applause as the movie ended and people showed

their appreciation for this wonderful Christmas

gift! We'll catch "West Side Story" another time.

Right now we're just smiling at what, for us, was a

delightful Christmas surprise! Hope you'll

enjoy many wonderful sirprises during the

holiday season and that all your NEWS is

good!
