It was the 25th Anniversary Christmas party for the store on Friday Night. We always have a big wing ding in November for 'customer appreciation' and invite the heavy hitters. I have a picture attached that I will probably use on the web site eventually. It turned out to be a fun party Friday Night. We had 150 or 175 of our best customers there. Left to right; Leslie, Dave, Judy, Beth, Trina, Martha, John, Laura, Louise, Jeff*, Donna*, Jean, Shannon, and Heather. (Owners*) The building was built in 1915, and it was a jewelry store from day one. The current owners bought it 25 years ago, from the third owners. John Anderson (The P/O) still comes in and was there for the party. Back then, it was next door to us, and we are now one space to the East where the Drug store started out with a little more room. We still have to old tin ceiling, so cell phones don't work well, but we don't have to worry about aliens either. I am lucky to be working here, because it is a real institution, and a fixture in the town. Martha has been there almost 35 years now, continuously. Now, after the party, we can get back to being elves for the season. JC --- John A Christensen, G.G. www.statestreetjewelers.com Geneva, IL
