It was the early part of June, 2005, when Howard T. Hallowell walked in as Gloria was sweeping the store. He watched for a moment and then said, "Swabbing the floor, huh?" "Deck," Gloria said. "Huh?" "It's a deck, not a floor." Gloria straightened and then added, "and, no, I'm not swabbin' it, I'm sweeping it." Howard chuckled and said, "You know Andy Zi...
