Hey c'mon... my memory isn't that bad. It wasn't "the" Coeur d'Alene
amphitheater... it was a (temporary) outdoor amphitheater at the Boy Scout
Jamboree which was not in town, it was out in the woods. The giant screen
was also temporary. This is not like an alien abduction scenario... there
were thousands of scouts there with me. I'm sure I have pictures in a box
someplace if that will help you.
