Imperial Optical was my first official job out of high school. It was Art who hired me and i felt that he gave me a chance with no previous experience. Later we worked together at The Bay Optical. I remember when Art stopped smoking and showed me his bank book with an impressive balance. My sympathies to Art's Family, I imagine he is dearly missed. - Posted by: Denise Pauls (past employee and colleague) on: Jan 06, 2012
