I grew up with the Hill top Market, but I knew it as the "Little Green Store". One of my favorite child hood memories!

Dorothy Costa.....My sympathy goes out to you. I have just found this notice and, well, My Mother Alice Specht passed earlier this year.....my father 9 years ago. I remember how much my Mother liked you; how you were such a good friend to her. I am wondering how you are doing? Please, if you or someone who knows you reads this, plase write...
