I used to purchase comics at the store, I used to go to Danny Boy supermarket for my mom, and I remember the Esso station. Do you happen to have a pic that I could look back on? I remember it so well that I dream about it, but my daughter only has seen it as "the place with the church"; my mom still lives around the corner. Thanks so much :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534840576496087146.post-47243520334814516722010-11-17T06:02:39.723-08:002010-11-17T06:02:39.723-08:00The owners of the N.

They were brothers-in-law. <br /><br />My brothers Norm, Jim and Dale and I all worked for them in age sequence.<br /><br />They were generous and benevolent employers who treated our family with kindness and opportunity.<br /><br />To this day, every time Kathy or I crack open a hard boiled egg, we think of Artie Hertz (father of Division Sandy. Artie would make the egg salad which, in the process, would smell up the store. he would say "if it came out of your A _ _ it would smell too. He was a funny character and single dad who taught me most Yiddish curse words. He would say something to me and I would run to Marv Bellows (the pharmacist) and he would translate. What a hoot!<br /><br />Chuck Kelly's brother Bill worked with me and my brother Norm at the Levittown P.O. He was a great beat cop as were about 2 others I got to know well.<br /><br />Since I worked at the NVG Drug lunch counter all through H.S., I had an opportunity to bridge the Rock-Jock gap serving all the local characters as well as the families who lived nearby and frequented the store (too many to name here). I got to hear all the gossip and the job served me well as a growth opportunity. S, so many memories revolve around my experiences at NVG Drugs.<br /><br />Tom UrbanUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11644517338914721912noreply@blogger.com
