Just saw the picture of Mr. and Mrs. Collins and note by Nina Park Clubb - now Day, retired and living in Adair County -my best friend in High School.

I had my first job at the drugstore. Saturdays were hectic to say the least. My first day was a Saturday and I got off work at 9 p.m. My dad picked me up and we drove home to Hwy. 206; I could hardly get out of the car!!!

I cooked my first "over-easy" egg for some gentleman - egg turned out to be almost well done. He smiled and said, "I'm glad I didn't ask for it to be well-done,"

Being the youngest of 11 and one of only two girls (my sister Martha, used to work at the drug store too, at one time - she was 3 years older than me. I was somewhat spoiled and hadn't done much cooking. I would rather be outside!!

Sue Yates was more or less in charge of food area.

I remember the good chicken salad and pimento cheese salad.
