Nason is always in my head...
I was looking at #2 Rollingwood on Zillow today. I'd love to know how much that house cost to build. I listened to many a classical and Broadway play album in that house while ensuring that nothing untoward happened to the kids down the hall. (And you don't even know that I was there.)
The Army took me far, far away but when I did come to visit, I always made a point of stopping in at Tech Pharmacy to visit with Nason, Joyce and Howard.
Juicy "Big Beefs" from Friendlys down the street on Weekends.
Good memories.

I still think of him often and the fun we had in the Pharmacy. Running down the street to Friendly's to get Big Beef sandwiches for the crew! Sol was a delight too; with the way he would tease his clientele when they would come in from a snowy day. "C'est que ce?"

Remembering Nason (and Sol). Two great guys who gave me my first job while in high school (Classical). I clerked at the pharmacy and delivered prescriptions in that beat-up old Chevy "truck". Wonderful memories. So sorry that I wasn't able to re-connect with Nason before he passed. I would loved to have seen him one more time.

Dear Martha and Family,
Lea and I were saddened to learn of Nason's death. We were newlyweds when we began to patronize the wonderful old Tech Pharmacy. He was a very nice man. It was fun to run into him from time to time after that. We send you our sympathy.
