Childhood Memories

Thank you so much for this website! I grew up literally at Yard Birds - my father, Jack Williams, started at the original store known as Sun Birds, then moved to the big store where he was the shoe store manager. I was born in 1965, so I spent my childhood all the time there, from getting all my mary jane shoes fitted by my father, running through the toy department, eating 8 cent donuts or free popcorn with my yard bird tokens. I took dance lessons upstairs. I even was there the day the big bird outside burned down - broke this little girl's heart!

How I miss those parking lot sales, playing with the free puppies, talking to the mynia bird, buying my girl scout outfits - oh the myriad of memories! I truly look forward to seeing the documentary and I plan on taking my dad with me.

Thanks again!
