Vern was one of a kind or if you prefer a noble gentleman of the old school. The hospitality extended from the coffee to the attitude of the proprietor. On one of my trips down there after a hour and more of shopping,and just about to leave, Vern asked me to wait and burrowing into the back came out with an Avalon Hill B&O/C&O board game he had been saving. He wouldn't take money saying he knew it was for me.
And if he didn't stock something it probably was unavailable.
RIP, sir.
