Our dear friend and host, Hubert Simons,
http://www.stjohnsburyfire.com/histo...hiefs%2008.htm was the fire chief in St. Johnsbury and the town offices were in the same building as the central fire station. He would pick up Dad and my licenses and have them just waiting to be signed when we arrived just before midnight on Friday nights. There were no super highways in those days, just primary, secondary, and dirt roads.
Times have changed drastically - Hubert as well as all those old traditions are long gone now. These days we buy our licenses at St. J Hardware.... we've been doing that for twenty-five years now.
Yup, Woolworth's was on Railroad Ave in St. J. Do you remember the checkerboard-painted Purina Feeds elevator in the freightyard just down the street from Woolworth?
