[00:16.15]Mister
[00:23.39]先生
[00:37.32]We lived in NYC in Manhattan on 130 something street,
[00:44.12]in a three-story brownstone
[00:46.57]that housed many of my relatives.
[00:50.03]At this time I was not yet five years old.
[00:54.37]When we lived in this neighborhood

[01:15.25]and Soda 2 Fountain store. Mister owned it.
[01:20.36]He was a Jewish man
[01:22.34]and could not get my immature 3 tongue around his name
[01:26.82]so I just called him Mister.
[01:29.60]The building my family lived in
[01:31.98]was on the same side of the street,
[01:34.57]three buildings east of Amsterdam that ran north and south.

[01:48.27]In the winter his uniform at the pharmacy
[01:51.49]besides his white pharmacy overcoat
[01:54.39]was a flannel 4 checkered 5 shirt,
[01:58.48]with matching vest, tie,
[02:00.51]slacks and well polished penny loafers in black or brown
[02:06.10]depending on the color combination of the day.
[02:09.62]He had beautiful skin, with rosy 6 cheeks, blue eyes,
[02:15.01]rimless round bifocal spectacles,
[02:18.21]resting on the tip of his nose.
[02:21.10]He smelled like Allspice.
[02:24.48]The top of his head was shiny and bald
[02:28.16]with a pure white fringe of abundant shiny hair
[02:32.11]around the sides of his head.
[02:34.74]He also had beautiful white teeth.
[02:37.91]Today, I wonder if the teeth were false.

[02:44.43]and a warm welcoming handshake for anyone
[02:47.59]who came into his store.
