The photos I share here are part of Uncle Ralph Murphy’s slide collection given to my husband by his Aunt Jean in 2012. The collection consists of 15 boxes of slides (thousands) taken by Uncle Ralph, spanning the years 1947 to 1984. Many are scenic shots from their travels across the United States, some are family members, and others friends and co-workers. I converted the majority of the slides to digital several years ago and have been enjoying them ever since.
In this case, these photos show the start of a new chapter of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees and Moving Picture Machine Operators of the United States and Canada. This chapter was most likely formed in Clarksburg, West Virginia in the late 1940s or early 1950s. Uncle Ralph was a projectionist at Warner’s Skyline Drive-In Theater in Clarksburg and may have worked with some of these men there.
I don’t know who any of these men are but perhaps someone will stumble upon this blog post and recognize a family member.
