BIZNOTE: Pegasus Book Exchange requesting ‘Fred stories’

Luke pointed out that Pegasus Book Exchange in The Junction is inviting customers past and present to share stories and memories about and for owner Fred Epps, and suggested we publicize the request too. His daughter Emma Epps said OK, so here’s what she posted on the Pegasus website:

Many of you may remember my dad, Fred Epps, who was front and center of Pegasus for about 30 years. My parents live in Mount Vernon (about an hour and a half’s drive away) and as my dad ages, he no longer has the stamina to visit the store any more. I (Emma) regularly get asked to pass along people’s well wishes, but I’d rather everyone speaks in their own words.

Do you have a memorable Fred story? Or even just something simple to say?

Here’s the important part, Emma emphasizes – please publish your comment/memory/story for Fred on the Pegasus website post, not here on this WSB post, so that he’s sure to see it. Of course you’re welcome to copy and paste it here too, after you’ve posted there …

    I remember your dad very well,  though I don’t have personal stories, he could always find something you needed with a smile. On a side note, Mount Vernon has excellent restaurants and shops downtown that we love going to on a whim, so highly recommend venturing out there if you’re bored. I hope your parents are well Emma.

    Fred, I just wanted to thank you for your wonderful contribution to our community. Eric and his team bring the same care and love to their hospitality that you always have, and we’re so grateful to have Pegasus as part of our neighborhood. – Mikey Adams

    I don’t have a singular story, but instead a  consistent and engaged presence, someone who remembered you and your recent reading history. That same engaged and consistent presence has continued, which makes Pegasus a rare treasure. 

Sorry, comment time is over.
