James W. Jenkins: During my teen years Jack helped me make several selections for prospective girlfriends (who will remain unnamed to protect the innocent). He always advised me to be frugal because a relationship might not work out. He knew a lot more about women at that time than I did. I wish I had taken his advice.
Elizabeth Ann Gaddy Rivers: My engagement and wedding rings came from Martin's Jewelry at this location. Laura Burch Hunt worked here for many years with Jack Vernon. When I was in high school, senior girls could choose a silver pattern and receive a teaspoon in that pattern. I remember choosing "Old Master" by Towle. The last business I recall having been here was Hi-Tech Computers. Bill Freeman opened a computer store here, and later John E. Williams III became a partner. Later Williams opened his own computer store, first on East Boulevard and later on Park Drive. Today this building is vacant.
