I worked in that store in the mid-'50s!  That was Swede Olsen, whose wife 
Karen worked there, too. Swede and I did some community theatre with Lantern 
Theatre on LI for several years, until I graduated from Hofstra.  They live in 
retirement in Florida.
It was ar the Hempstead Salvation Army that I met Bob Colton who introduced 
me to 'Record Research'; they were on issue no. 2!
