Today we are in Utah because Grandpa is celebrating 50 years in business at Orchard Drug in North Salt Lake. He's throwing a little party to thank all his loyal customers, but I think the family may be taking over. All of the cousins should be there, and I can't recall the last time we all made the effort to be in the same place at the same time. We all have so many memories of visiting Grandpa at the store or helping him out there. For 50 years Grandpa has stood behind that pharmacy counter. Somehow he's managed to keep a smile on his face while working on his feet 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. He knows each of his customers by name, and usually a few things about what is going on in their life. The drug store will always have an extra special place in my heart, since I worked there every summer- starting when I was 14.

That is SO incredible. Look at how cute he is too!!! What an accomplishment. And I'm so glad that so many of your family can all be together! Love ya!
Because of him you were always my resource for drug-related info...that is until Brent took his pharm class this year. (don't tell him this, but you may still be more reliable until he gets a few years experience ;))
