The biggest mistake my summer camp made long, long ago was putting me in charge of selecting the weekly films.
@lauren Ima guess "Old Yeller" wasn't one of your selections.
@shuttersparks Correct. I quickly transitioned their selections from films like "Captains Courageous" to "Our Man Flint". Seriously. I don't remember the entire list, but I did throw in some deeper fare like "Flight of the Phoenix". This was all a big deal then, since nobody had TVs (and reception would have been very limited, more on that in a second). And of course nobody had video players of any kind. Just those films.
Sidenote: The first moon landing was one of those summers. They brought in a couple of TV sets (probably black and white, I don't remember), and I rigged up an antenna that was at least able to get a rather grainy reception of the landing.
@lauren Very cool of you to do that. I was a fanatic about the whole space program. (My career path through my teens was astronomer.) As it turned out, on the day and time of the Apollo 11 landing I found myself traveling and in Zurich, Switzerland. So I went into a bierstube (pub) and watched it on color TV there.
@shuttersparks Of course, the actual LEM camera was only black and white!
