  4. I spent a bizillion hours at the IGA, as did lots of us kids. I remember having to work at Dorothy Muriel/Brighams
    in Arlington to learn all about the bakery products for the new coffee shop. Can you imagine having to figure
    prices, i.e., 7 cans of Campell’s and the customer only wanted 3?? No scanning available.
    Babysat George and Arlene’s 2 girls lots of times. The Kolovson family was so good to me.
    Some of us would work Sat. 7 a.m.to 9 p.m.. And probably went out after work! Oh so long ago!! But lots of
    happy memories. Thank you George and Irving and Arlene,
    Rebecca Richardson
