When I was in high school, I had a part-time after-school job at Davis Pharmacy, from 1969 until 1972, when the business closed. I originally delivered prescriptions by bicycle, and then became a cashier. Mr Davis was a good employer, and it was fun to be part of a small neighborhood drug store. - Posted by: Walter Turchyn (former employee) on: May 18, 2015
