A very apt photo for such a sad ending to what was probably considered a family heirloom. v
Cheri Randolph replied:
Chuck, thanks for commenting & voting on this one. Yes, it was a long-established family business, which my father-in-law & mother-in-law started when he returned from the service after WWII.

Cheri Randolph replied:
Joan, thanks for commenting. It is a sad tale - the end of an era, but they are taking the, "When one door closes, another opens" attitude, and moving on to other things. Appreciate your vote on this one.
