REVIEW: THE "NO TIME" DRIVE IN; A once shy boy, who spent his high school days, lonely, and oppressed finds his place and identity in college. He is in his fifties; single and believing that everything is in order. Five months, before his fortieth high school reunion that he realizes something is missing from his life and has been all this time. The thing missing, it is the love of his life. The girl he met as a high school freshman. She was the popular girl, the cheerleader, the girl with more friends than he had acquaintances. She too has experienced life's ups and downs. She is now single in a different part of the country. She is not big on computers and surfing the internet or being involved in social media, until the day her friend invites her over to show her what modern technology can do. After a quick session of seeing how easy it is now to catch up with old friends, she goes to a place where she can find her old high school friends, and they are there, by the dozens. Soon she sees a name she remembers. A sweet shy boy, who was afraid to come out from his own shadow, from seeing his information, she knows now that he is no longer shy. The 40th Reunion is coming and she makes a decision, she is going to attend. It will be her first reunion. http://econopublishing.com/ When the "Friend" request comes, she replies and over the next five months, they figure out how much they missed the love they could have had. They were happy with what they had been, but there had been divorces and had hard times during the breakups. On the far outskirts of town sits the old long gone Comanche Drive In. On a whim, and to remember a time he saw her, Nick drives out there just to reminiscence and contemplate, what might have been. The old screens are half down; the old ticket booth where you drove the cars in was in poor shape. The concession building and the projection booth on top, the old drive in, was a better prospect for being torn down than ever repaired. It had been out of business for near thirty years. When Nick pulled his car into a parking spot, something happened that he would not believe, and it would change his life forever. His was not the only one!
