i have 3 memories that qualify as the oldest things i can distinctly remember. i got some clock toy for my 4th or 5th birthday that i remember playing with in my living room in my pjs on a sunny morning

my other two are star wars memories. i must have been 3 1/2 when i saw star wars at the geneva drive in daly city (just south of san francisco). i remember generally being at the drive in and scenes inside the millennium falcon up on that big screen out in the dark. i remember those speaker boxes on the poles next to our car

i also remember endor scenes from jedi and leaving the coronet theatre in san francisco. i remember the ending credits and filing out of the theatre with the crowds . sadly the coronet is the last big single screen theatre in san francisco and it is scheduled to be torn down soon to make room for a nursing home. the geneva drive in was closed years ago
