How sad to see another icon bite the dust.

Wonderful Memories! In 1953 I went to work for the then owner--- Frank Pearson --- at .50c per hour pushing the broom at 5:30 am. I walked to work and then walked to Menlo-Atherton as a freshman. Norma Parkes, of Redwood City, was Frank's "key employee." Both wonderful individuals that helped a young man head in the correct direction that hard work pays off. Such fun times then................and Johnnie's Smoke Shop next door!!!!!Priceless times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
