Hi Gene!
I just saw the video from early 2007 on You-Tube and I couldn’t believe it! God bless you and God bless Google for giving me a very happy visit to you and New Market Hardware once again.
I fondly remember the days I spent there summers and P-T while in college at UMSL with my buddy Steve Huey. I worked in inventory with Ed, delivery with John B. and Keller, and on the floor with Art (“YES Sir!), John, George, Hal, and the wonderful, wonderful Helen. And Dutch, of course!
I’m going to try to get to St. Louis this summer and I will definitely drop by to visit if I do. Paul Simon sang, “Preserve your memories, they’re all that’s left you.” (And what beautiful memories they are!)
God bless,
Frank
