What is an interesting factoid about yourself? This goes back 20 years ago. I was talking to another pharmacist, and we were thinking about buying a store in Rockford. We went to check it out: It was half pharmacy and half gun store. The pharmacist who owned the place was a deputy sheriff and carried a gun. From his office, he could lock the front door with a switch and trap a shoplifter in the store.
