<p>I was one of those kids pondering the licorice sticks. I grew up not too far from there and back in the 60's, during the off season, you could sometimes find Bill behind the register.

<p>Probably ran in the Mercer Island Reporter. I remember the store well and mention it in my new book, "Dragon Days." Prices for some of the food items were written on cardboard placards that had Bob Hale artwork of the Miss Thriftway. We used to stop there as kids, in route on our bikes from Lake Hills to the Lake Washington race course. I'm pretty sure we saw Bill there one time, "pushing prunes" as he used to say.</p>
