I will let my father know you are thinking of him.
thx marymc. I remember Bill well as he gave me one of my first jobs of my late teens at the Dumfries shop. I remember him with a good sense of humor, a great smile and infectious laugh. I grew up a good deal in Bills business. My condolences go out to him.
We appreciate your sentiment. Our father and mother were delivering the Freelance Star at the time. BTW, exact years 1969-1986.
This is definately the same person, he owned from late 60's to early 90's.
I believe it is the same person.
