They worked at Alvin's -
1971-'97
One fine day - it must have
been sometime in the early 80's - Barnie
Surowitz sidled up to me as I was getting my daily dose of salad and
coffee.
"Steve," He said, keeping his voice down and looking around,
"How would you like to work at Alvin's?"
"Sunday morning at Alvins"
I felt honored that he would ask me, and for a brief flash of a second, I
actually considered it, but I had just sold my house in England and flush
with cash, had no good reason to actually work for a living, so I politely
turned him down, thereby forfeiting my chance at immortality of a sorts; to
be an honored member of the Alvin's elite, the folks who worked behind the
counter.
Here then, are comments by those so honored, together with a list of said
folks.
