We worked in a geriatric hospital at the time and were responsible for hiring a movie each week for the residents to watch on a Saturday night. I was very young and felt they would all want to see old Fred Astaire films and the like. My boss who was older felt Coma would be an excellent choice. I soooo didn't! Haha! Now that I'm older myself, I suspect he was right...FictionFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06212537466233602766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-87994272305197849362016-03-16T10:13:25.324-05:002016-03-16T10:13:25.324-05:00Love how you are doing this nostalgia meme!Love how you are doing this nostalgia meme!Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2755001368713174831.post-60362313784086579002016-03-16T05:23:54.725-05:002016-03-16T05:23:54.725-05:00Yes, I agree.
