He couldn't have done it without me

My parents were close friends with the Grimmingers since I can remember.  

I was just a little guy back in the early '50s when my dad told me to get in the car and get ready to work through the night.  I was too young to even know what "work" meant at that time.  All I knew was how cool it was that I got to stay up late, if not all night. 

As it turned out, we were going to help move the contents from his old store to his new location.  We had a parade of dollies rolling back and forth through the streets till the wee hours in the morning.  Plus I got to handle all the cool military, outdoors and sports items which later became an integral part of my life growing up.

As I reminded Bob & Emily years later, "You wouldn't be where you are today without me."  Okay, a slight exageration, but still a great memory.  Some things you'll just never forget -- nor want to forget.
