Hi Tom!
Thanks for bringing back old memories! I was born at MRMC and raised in Anthony but graduated from Ocala High School in 1964. I currently work at John Green's law office.

I worked at this place for Mr. Cecil McClellan between 1953 and 1955, then again from 1958 - 1961. This was a second home to me. I loved it, and have many happy memories from here. Worked with, among others, Mary Jo who later married C.G, Berry,and Edith Wade, and gosh! Can't remember the other ones now. I remember another's last name was Ashton. Age does that to you. Knew most of the teenagers at that time.
