Lunch ladies in the news; more on McLouth's

Brother Jim Memmott writes in the Rochester Democrat & Chronicle this morning about last week's Alumni Dinner and the memories it generated about lunches in the LVCS cafeteria.

Also this morning, we found an e-mail in our inbox from Ellen Weaver (LVCS, class of '80). She writes that she and her aunt, Wilma Easton Bridges (class of '35) were at last week's dinner. Afterward, Ellen checked out this blog and saw the earlier post about the old postcard and McLouth's drug store. Ellen writes that:

"Wilma surely remembers that Drug Store. It was on Little Valley's downtown corner, which later housed Milk's Drug Store and now houses a flower shop. McLouth's sported a soda fountain with marble ice cream counter and stools.

"She said two generations of McLouths ran the store and her deceased brother, Dick Easton, also an LVCS Alum, worked there for some time as a young man. My Uncle Dick later worked at the Little Valley Post Office and his son, Dick, is regularly in attendance at the Alumni Banquets.

"She vaguely remembers a fire which occured in Merow's Hardward, behind McLouth's, but does not remember if the fire affected the Drug Store or not. She is searching for some photos of the fire to help jog her memory."

Anyone remember the fire and its consequences?
