Here is a photo of my sister Mary Wilcox Craven 63 and I taken at the swimming pool directly in front of the old Campus Drive in. We used to have a great time there. According to my oldest sister. Wendy Wilcox Pumphrey 60, the pool was eventually closed when a child came down with polio -- Judy Wilcox Baker 66
OMG!!! I almost fainted when I saw the photo at the pool. That's where I learned to swim back in 1959 or so. AND I think I had the same matching swimming cap. Good Lord those things were miserable! What a great memory to bring up. I'd forgotten all about the way it looked. Thanks for reminding me! -- Laura Jones Schmidhammer 70
I remember that pool in front of the Campus Drive-in. My brother and I swam in it. It wasn't sponsored by the drive-in, but a real estate company that kept a small office at the pool in front of the theater. It took special permission for us to swim in it -- Ron Bankhead 63
My late brother Ron was partially correct. We did swim in a demo" pool installed right in front of the Campus Drive-In sign. My moms cousin owned the pool construction company that had a small office there. That was the special permission required that my brother mentioned. My cousin said we could swim anytime we wanted to it was good for business -- Rod Rocky Bankhead 65
