Arthur, the gent you are talking about was Lyle Cain of Lyle Cain enterprises. He sold the Toonerville Trolley and related items in the Yellow hall. The Yellow hall was lots of fun. I still have my trolley today that I purchased from him.
This will be York number 75 for me. I have seen many come and go over the years. I thought about composing a story about my years at York. Back when I started the halls opened at 0800. I could do every aisle in every hall and be done by noon. I laugh when I hear rookies making statements about York slowing down.
The first person I met at York was a young kid named Mike Wolf. Mike introduced me to Lou Caponi. We were all car guys and a great friendship was born. My good friend Louie is gone and I think of him often. He did great work for the LCCA. Today Al Kolis has done a great job as Louie did before him. I miss those who have passed and value very much the great friends I see every York.
Gilly, I was very lucky as I always had great bosses at work. When they needed someone to cover, I was the go to guy. They were all aware of what York was to me and we all worked together.
It has been a great run.
