I worked in that store in the mid-'50s! That was Swede Olsen, whose wife
Karen worked there, too. Swede and I did some community theatre with Lantern
Theatre on LI for several years, until I graduated from Hofstra. They live in
retirement in Florida.
It was ar the Hempstead Salvation Army that I met Bob Colton who introduced
me to 'Record Research'; they were on issue no. 2!
