     Uncle Dick, as I knew him, and Aunt Mayme, lived about three blocks from our home in Chewelah. My father, Henry, first came to Chewelah and bought a drug store, calling it, appropriately, Richard Drug. Some years later, his brother, Dick, joined him in Chewelah and Dick opened a hardware, called Chewelah Hardware. The two stores were just one block apart.
     I remember working for my Dad in the drug store until about the age of 13, for 10 cents/hour. That was plus everything I could eat in the soda fountain and all the comic books I could read. I went to work for my Uncle Dick in the hardware store for 25 cents/hour but no fringe benefits. My Aunt Mayme also worked there, and she saw to it that whenever I was not busy in the hardware section, I would dust shelves in the glassware and nicknack section of the store. They were very close to my parents and to me all those years when I was growing up.
