In the summer of 1965, I was an incoming sophomore
at Fayetteville High School. I was intimidated by
the stylish, well-dressed upper classmen. I had saved
up money from my paper route and so I headed
downtown to Ed Fleishman and Brothers on Hay
Street to get a Gant shirt and a pair of weejuns (known
today as penny loafers, but of course, it was not cool to
put a penny in them in 1965) so I could fit in with the
crowd at Fayetteville High. Ed Fleishman's had a great
young men's shop upstairs and young college students
like Buck Scott, Ben Hailey and Shikery Fadel worked
there. They helped me get into style.
