I remember when Foss had a real soda fountain

I'm not the oldest one around but I might be in the top twenty.

I will be 91 next month. My wife worked for Foss Drug when the lunch room was in the back on the first floor and had a real soda fountain where you could get a cherry coke, a chocolate soda or a malt shake made by a real soda jerk.

She stayed on after they remodeled and put the cafe upstairs. She worked the night shift. Mrs O'Byrne (?) Heine Foss's mother, directed the wait staff and the floor operation

At that time Foss Drug was a true drug store. They had a photo section, jewerly section, cosmetics section and an excellent pharmacy among other things.
Not a tourist trap as it is now.
