Past and Future Events!
In this issue you will find pictures from our beautiful
Mother's Day dinner! The staff here at Franklin Park Round
Rock were proud to honor our resident mothers – and the
importance their love has made in the lives of their children.
Each of our mothers received their own decorated vase
with a single-stem rose within. And our dinner had to be just
as special as each of our mothers themselves! We created
beautiful decor around our entire community and brought
in beautiful live floral arrangements.
And thanks to our wonderful chef, Mr. Art Walker, and
his kind staff – our residents had the opportunity for some
fine dining. Mr. Walker prepared a special dinner of grilled
salmon and asparagus – with cheesecake and chocolatecovered strawberries for dessert! The beautiful and delicious
meal was enjoyed by mothers and their daughters alike.
Also in issues to come – look for photos of our other
May and June celebrations!

The Ed Sullivan Show
Airs for the Last Time
For more than two decades, Sullivan's variety show
was the premiere television showcase for entertainers of all
stripes, including borscht-belt comedians, plate-spinning
vaudeville throwbacks and, most significantly, some of the
biggest and most current names in rock and roll like The
Beatles. Twenty-three years after its 1948 premiere, The
Ed Sullivan Show had its final broadcast on June 6th, 1971.
Known for hosting musical talent from all genres, The
Ed Sullivan Show is now remembered most for providing
so many iconic moments in the history of televised rock
and roll. In fact, it was Ed Sullivan personally witnessing
Beatlemania up close at London's Heathrow airport in
1963 that led the Beatles being booked for their historic
February 1964 American television debut. Through the
rest of the ‘60s, The Ed Sullivan Show continued to host
the day's biggest rock acts. He brought music to televisions
way before MTV or VH1.

What's New at Franklin Park
Round Rock ?
As always, Welcome to our New Residents - and joy and happiness to all who
reside here!
We are currently in the process of creating a fulfilling Life Enriching Activities
Program for all of you. As always, I will continue to meet with each of you to create
highly-individualized programs that you will enjoy.
Some of our new regular activity programs will renew both mind and spirit!
We offer Sunday Services at 1:00pm every Sunday afternoon, and World Religion
Discussion Group every Wednesday evening at 5:30pm following Dinner -- which
will offer Residents the opportunity to learn about Religions and Cultural Beliefs
all around the world! Our resident, Lore Lee, put it best when she said, 'The world
lacks respect -- I think if we learned more about other religions and beliefs, maybe
we could all understand each other better and respect each other.'
Both the Sunday Services and the Discussion Group will be lead by a Master's
Degree level Theologian - who will be profiled in our upcoming July Newsletter.
And, just like another important person in religious history, he also works with his
hands as our Director of Maintenance. We are blessed that he has offered to care
for us in so many ways!
May was a month of Celebration and Remembrance -- Everything from Mother's
Day to birthdays to honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom
on Memorial Day.
Read about our Mother's Day Dinner in this issue -- and other celebrations in
the months to come.
Here's to celebrating 'every' day!

Resident Profile:
Mr. John
Also in this issue is Mr. John, our beloved resident
'Gentleman Cowboy.' He is quick-witted and always
ready with a funny remark. He can make you laugh and
smile without even tryin'.
He can tell you all about his days on his tractor
working his farm in Illinois. He says that life can be
'rough'. I think we can all appreciate that sentiment.
Another thing, John appreciates is horses! He says
that they are his favorite thing to look at. He also had a
favorite uncle who sang cowboy tunes.
WORDS OF WISDOM: John's words of wisdom
that he likes to offer to others is to 'live life simple'. I think
that we can all learn a lot from our Mr. John – a man who
understands that it's good to enjoy life's simple pleasures.
It is a pleasure for all of us to know you, Mr. John!

"Park-In Theaters" - A Brief History of the Drive-In
Reportedly inspired by his mother's struggle to sit
comfortably in traditional movie theater seats, Richard
Hollingshead, a movie fan and a sales manager at his father's
company, Whiz Auto Products, came up with the idea of
an open-air theater where patrons watched movies in the
comfort of their own automobiles. He then experimented
in the driveway of his own house with different projection
and sound techniques, mounting a 1928 Kodak projector
on the hood of his car, pinning a screen to some trees, and
placing a radio behind the screen for sound, tested ways
to guard against inclement weather, and devised the ideal
spacing arrangement for cars. The young entrepreneur
invested $30,000 and received a patent for the concept in
May of 1933 and opened Park-In Theaters, Inc., less than
a month later in Camden, New Jersey, on June 6th, 1933.
Advertising it as entertainment for the whole family,
Hollingshead charged 25 cents per car and 25 cents per
person, with no group paying more than one dollar.
The idea caught on, and after Hollingshead's patent was
overturned in 1949, drive-in theaters began popping up all
over the country. One of the largest was the All-Weather
Drive-In of Copiague, New York, which featured parking
space for 2,500 cars, a kid's playground and a full-service
restaurant, all on a 28-acre lot. The popularity of drive-ins
spiked after World War II and reached its heyday in the
late 1950s to mid-’60s, with some 5,000 theaters across the
country. Drive-ins became an icon of American culture,
and a typical weekend destination not just for parents and
children but also for teenage couples seeking some privacy.
Since then, however, the rising price of real estate, especially
in suburban areas, combined with the growing numbers
of walk-in theaters and the rise of video rentals to curb
the growth of the drive-in industry. Today, fewer than 500
drive-in theaters survive in the United States including one
of the largest, most successful locations in Shankweiler’s
Drive-In, Orefield, Pennsylvania.

Flag Day is a day for all Americans to celebrate and
show respect for our flag. Our flag is representative of
our independence and our unity as a nation... one nation,
under God, indivisible. It has a proud and glorious history
and was at the lead of every battle fought by Americans.
Many have died protecting it. Flag etiquette is as follows:
• Raise the flag today and every day with pride!
• Never let your flag touch the ground.
• The flag is normally flown from sunrise to sunset. In
the morning, raise the flag briskly. At sunset, lower it
slowly. *Always raise and lower it ceremoniously.
• When flown vertically on a pole, the stars and blue
field, or “union,” is at the top and at the end of the pole
(away from your house).

• The union is always on top.
• After a tragedy or death, the flag is flown at half staff
for 30 days. It’s called “half staff ” on land, and “half
mast” on a ship.
• The American flag is always flown at the top of the pole.
Your state flag and other flags fly below it.
• When displayed in print, the stars and blue field are
always on the left.
• The flag should not be flown at night without a light
on it.
• The flag should not be flown in the rain or inclement
weather.
• Fold your flag when storing. Don’t just stuff it in a
drawer or box.
• When your flag is old and has seen better days, it is
time to retire it. Old flags should be burned or buried.
Please do not throw it in the trash.
