Amazing. And...Imagine working 55 years in retail! Amazing. And the hours she kept. She must have been a dynamo to do it.<br /><br />My husband's father was the manager of clothing store in a small town in Upstate NY. His hours were similar but he worked fewer years at it. Still, it took its toll.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. Love the photos.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675676126371494857.post-18970140422083917072012-08-07T21:30:42.187-04:002012-08-07T21:30:42.187-04:00Jessica - Thanks for stopping by and for your nice...Jessica - Thanks for stopping by and for your nice comment!Cynthia Shenettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089125778529696076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675676126371494857.post-88953214746019075882012-08-06T22:06:28.080-04:002012-08-06T22:06:28.080-04:00What a delightful peek into the past.

You choose topics that I might not think about otherwise, and as a result, my research reveals bit of family history that I might not learn and/or write about without a little prompting from you! <br /><br />Carol - I thought the quotes were great, too. They really sum up Aunt Helen's 55 years of experience in business in two short sentences!<br /><br />Joan - She really was a go-getter at a time when women, if they worked outside the home at all, didn't work there for long. I also like your observation about her ability to keep changing with the times which is a relevant topic even today...Cynthia Shenettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07089125778529696076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675676126371494857.post-76451593317174722892012-08-05T15:30:38.816-04:002012-08-05T15:30:38.816-04:00How wonderful to have an Aunt like Helen.

Amazing woman to be able to continue to keep changing with the times --- until it was time for her to go.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948553013206247354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-675676126371494857.post-19341963185245985672012-08-04T09:22:36.014-04:002012-08-04T09:22:36.014-04:00This is another great post, and of course, the pho...This is another great post, and of course, the photo is Mahhhhhvelous!<br /><br />The quotes from the news article at the end were great.
