Author Description

The Store. . . takes us back to the days of the old fashioned general store, where a person could find just about anything he needed and sell his wool, eggs, butter, ginseng or chickens as well. The author grew up in an apartment above the Peoples Store and Supply, on the banks of the Greenbrier River in Marlinton, West Virginia. You will find his vivid memories of The Store as delightful as did the readers of his home town paper, the Pocahontas Times, when they were first published as a series of articles in 2006. The story focuses on the years of Sam s boyhood, the 1930s, but it looks back to The Store s founding in 1915 and ahead to its final days in the mid-1980s.
