In 1964 our family was taking a trip from Pennsylvania to New England. We stopped at a motel in Wilbraham, Massachusetts that had a drive-in movie theater behind it. The motel rooms were equipped with a large picture window and a speaker so the guests could watch the movie. What did we see? Robin and the 7 Hoods!
