[Elecraft] "Them"

[Phil Hystad]

The first Sci Fy movie I remember seeing was "The Forbidden Planet" at the Studio Theater on First Street in San Jose, California -- it was probably 1956 and I was 9 years old.  My oldest sister who was 15 years old at the time took me and my other sister who was 11.
