Bill:
What class were you in?
Thanks so much for your recollections! Wow---I feel as though I only scratched the surface compared to what you remember! I do remember the store at the corner of Beech St. and Charles was Miller's---that's the store I frequented the most, since it was right on the way as I walked from my house on Ranch Road to Poage Elementary School. It was run by an elderly couple named Miller (of course, anyone over 40 was elderly those days!), and it sold about all the basics. I remember Mrs. Miller wasn't the friendliest lady around--she was strictly business, it seemed---but nice nonetheless. I have no idea what her and her husbands first names were, though. I enjoyed your memories of Dairy Cheer also. That was quite the place when I was growing up---kinda of a state-of-the-art restaurant second only to BBF (downtown at 12th and Winchester. BBF stood for "Burger Boy Food-a-Rama"). Dairy Cheer had great food and a nice (though echoey) dining room and was always a great place for the family to stop for evening ice cream treats.
Bill, where exactly did you live? Did you attend Poage?
Thanks again for your reminiscing. Indeed---those were the days!
