February 10, 1970 - Family Store

 

The Family Store (Building 211) on GFAFB was where my mother worked.  I liked visiting the store due to its great toy section.  The store had a huge mirror on one wall and once my mom started working there I found out it was a 1-way mirror window that employees used to watch customers from the break room.

I saw a Ford Mustang in the parking lot one day with a houndstooth vinyl top and interior.  I don't think I ever saw another one like it.

This journal entry is in my mother's handwriting.  Note she calls it "supper" and not "dinner".   From what I've gathered, "dinner" is most commonly used in the west and northeast parts of the US, while "supper" is very common in North Dakota and the surround states.
