I, too, worked at Toot's for the Harrod's. But, my sister, Janice, worked at Toot's before me when the Giesey's owned it. My mom worked there, too. I started working at Toot's when I was 14 for 35 cents an hour, 45 cents an hour on Sundays. And at that time, the addition wasn't built on so we just had the sliding window at the front. And, those minute buns! I had forgotten about those! Just make a little hole in a bun and spoon that "stuff" (the minute bun mix) into the bun. I vividly recall all the buses and buses of boy scouts come by in the summer time on their way to and from boy scout camp.
I wouldn't trade growing up in Howard for all the money in the world. Those were wonderful days and what fun we had swimming at the low water bridge before the swimming pool was built. Riding our bicycles around town even at night. Small school where you knew everyone in your class (you had known most of them your whole life!).
