Great story, stud722. I know you're going to miss the owners and I hope the new owners are just as nice.

Your story reminded me of my high school days -- hanging around the music shop. The owner would let us kids play around on just about all of the instruments in the shop and he even helped finance a few bands that were starting out. But that was a long, long time ago.

Don and I will continue to be friends for a long time I am sure. I know they are planning on doing some traveling and enjoying the grandchildren but I will make him find time for me too

Thanks members for posting the pictures.
John, I did mention your regards last visit.
Stud, congrats on 1000 post.
Don was having some health problems and I believe he and his better half knew it was time.

He was saying there are a few prospective buyers to take over the shop. Some of them were coming into town to take a look. Hope someone takes over and keeps the shop open
That is good news. I hope for the best.

Our drive was 1 hour and 15 min.
I would go there because my specific dentist was aside of his store. This only happened 1 time a year starting in 2012.
My wife and Don grew up in the same area of, "The Thumb," This made a great connection.
