My husband has his dad's trains. It took me some time to find him a transformer for it, but I hunted one down at a train show. They're still in beautiful shape.

PB, my aunt was a buyer for Wanamaker's. We used to go visit her at work (she was the only woman I knew who had an assistant and her own office) and then up to the cafeteria. She would always buy my a dress or something before we left. For years, I wore the coat she had bought for me the Christmas I turned 16. It was peach wool with an opposum collar.

DT, my dad was a pharmacist (they used to say druggist) and he had a soda fountain in the store where he worked. When he went to another store, we had to go to the candy store for sodas. I loved cherry cokes, made with real cherry syrup.
