It takes me bake when I worked for Louis & Frank Fazzari. I started working for them in 1973 stocking shelves for cigarette machine money. I used to love it, as I eould leave with a pocket full of nickels, dimes & quarters. Eventually, I quite working for them in 1987 and moved on to become an executive chef years later. Ironically, I now own my own business, and my primary competition is thier cousins restaurant, Fazzaris in clarkston, WA. I have so many fond memories of growing up in this diner I can't hardly begin. It was truly a sad day when I heard that it was closing. From Franky & Bertie in the bar,Doris & Rosie Basta (started working in the 20's) in the kitchen, Rosey and Mary in the dining room and even Betty in the coffee shop, I miss the genre. I am currently trying to create the same environment, so hopefuly one day my son, and his can take over the business and create a genre of our own. Good day,

I'd have mourned it's passing, too. I love that you had developed a relationship with a diner. I’d have mourned it’s passing, too.

That is a lovely picture of the clock and with your permission I would love posting it on my site and of course giving you permission with a link back. I think you have done a terrific job of telling the story of the Pastime, as well. Thanks again. Catie Hi Marisa,
