Despite working with geoscientists whose hometowns were scattered across the country, John felt like one of the few cosmopolitan souls in the city. I loved the diverse atmosphere in the shop, which was a welcome change from the almost exclusively late-30's-and-up demographic of my workplace. Finances at the store were always tight, though, and I always wondered when, not if, it would close. I'm sad to hear it finally folded but John's hopefully happier without that monetary albatross around his neck. I wish I had kept in touch better and I'd know all this already instead of finding it out when I'm trying to send him a holiday card. If anyone knows his whereabouts, please email me: dytguard-online@yahoo.com.

I got to know John and many of the "kids" who worked there quite well. In fact, John is the only person I know who has actually been to my personal sister city of Coober Pedy Australia. We'll miss them.Panchohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03463873173228883570noreply@blogger.com
