It helps to get the name right when you are trying to find long lost friends. Olsen or Olson is one example. Farrow or Farrell is another. I remember Rich telling us his name sounded like the ice cream parlor at Northridge – But It was spelled a little different.
Last night Judy and I were talking about this, and Judy said “Farrow – just like the ice cream place at Northridge."

So I’m still confused… But then… I looked in my filing cabinet.
I found a file folder labeled Walgreens. In that folder I found some old copies of “Walgreen World”. That was the semi monthly company news magazine. It had articles about the company and other stuff… Like service awards. They printed your name in Walgreen World when you had reached an employment milestone… like 3, 5, 10 years of service.In the March/April 1985 Issue I found this entry - "R. Fahrow 2600 Addison Chicago. "
It seems like that was the address of the Chicago lab.
I did more internet searching and I now feel reasonably sure I have located our "Fearless Leader."
Ok...smarty pants...but good for you finding the WW mag! I remember that and prob. somewhere deep down in a pile of shit, I have one too. Mary, I think, told me that Rich transferred to Chi-town ...so that's a very strong possible. As for Olse/on, Bob and I remembered he attended HS at some seminary school. I recall getting a total kick out of this info as he was SO freaking crazy! So...I search under that guideline, but I'm certain that the one w/ STACY is him. Also, bad speller (LOL), my Maiden name is Steiner. Vlado's last name was Illich (spelling?). I did a search and came up w/ a Walter and a Wally, both in PA., using that spelling. Water is english for Vladamir.
ReplyDeleteoops...my turn WALTER is US for Vladamir and he taught Me and Mary "cornscoe govenoe" (speeling like it sounds) for horseshit!
ReplyDeletemost of my SPELLING errors are really typos!
