I remember the Snack Shop as the place where I had my first date with my late wife in 1956. Then we came back to EMC in 1966 for me to finish my degree and we lived there for two years.

My immediate thought on seeing the featured photo was, “Why is one girl left out?”

I need to correct the idea that the food which the clerks ate in Weaver’s Store between customers was “home made.” That was our problem. Since we could not go home to eat we made snacks out of what was available in the store. We ground hamburger fresh for each customer so it was easy to have a little extra to put on the grill in the back room. We would open a package of rolls, ketchup and whatever and have a nice juicy hamburger before there were “hamburger joints” across the country. When our school friends begged, “Daddy” set a price and business grew.

I remember the Snack Shop well; always a favorite place to go. I was at EMHS from 1956 to 1961. My brother-in-law’s parents lived in the house next door.
