EGON FIRESIDE

During this time under "house arrest"...I have noticed that I have spent time thinking about people and places from my past.
Yesterday I posted about GNC declaring bankruptcy...and I suddenly started thinking about my first business which was a Natural Food Store on Chestnut Street in San Francisco...I only owned it for 4.5 years, and sold it to a customer...who later sold it to a Chinese man, who later sold it to GNC.

But what I really remembered were the people who were my...

Egon was an astute business man and a true gentleman. We were competitors in the retail Photographic Industry and yet always friendly and ran his business the proper way. They don't make them like that anymore. My condolences to all of his family.
