Synopsis
Lena came to me from a house I purchased in 2004 when I was teaching at St. Andrews Presbyterian College. The house been vacant for more than a year. It was filled with debris: old clothes, a kitchen trash can filled with plastic grocery shopping bags, a large container of Beanie Babies still in packaging, a few odds and ends of furniture, and over 5,000 books. . The house was a miracle waiting for me. The previous owner, George Everington, had been the town druggist. . His drugstore, founded in 1882, was located on Main Street just a block away if you cut through the alley. Lena was undoubtedly a family member. Relax and enjoy a relic from another time.
