Hi Celia,
ReplyDeleteGlad you found these photos to share.. Have fond memories of Duthie's as my high school job.. To think I was on old Robson st amidst eccentric bibliophiles while my cohort were folding t-shirts in suburban malls.. Hope you are well.. If you are in New York in coming months, be sure to come say hello.
