Yes, I did. And there was an old, traditional italian restaurant on 
Olive, I think, around the St. Louis University area.

Was Sal (from New York) working there at the time?

Jefferson Camera ( bob has passed away ),

I worked there from about 1973 or 74 to 1976, off and on, extra money.

I lived in Edwardsville (studying journalism) at the time. On my way to 
and from work I'd take some snaps:

and Schiller's.

Bob (the III), Jr. passed away. I never knew Sr., came back to Jefferson 
  when father/son reunited. Bob III is now back at Schillers (I went 
there in ... 2002 or so) and Jefferson closed down (about 5 years ago, I 
think, maybe less).

I haven't been back for some time now.  I know most things have changed.

Things do that ... things do.
