    Was the manager of this now defunct old used and rare book store on Broadway in New Haven just down from the Yale Co-op. Orchestrated the change over from new and antiquarian stock to an all used and antiquarian book shop. Unfortunately as the landlord (Yale University) raised the rent the shop shrunk to a smaller and smaller space ending up for a few last years upstairs and in the rear. I left a bit before that in 1977 to move to the Amherst, Mass area to enroll in Wildlife Biology at UMASS. But that's another story...
