Happy Anniversary!
Thanksgiving is a joyful and happy day for everyone but Nov. 27 is an even more special day for Pat and Dick Stryker. The former Atlantic Highlands Mayor and his wife Pat are celebrating their 71st wedding anniversary this year and still delight in telling the story of how they met.
Congratulations to one terrific couple who raised a great family, established a most popular and well-run store in their Bayshore Pharmacy in the Foodtown Mall on Route 36 at First Avenue, and contributed so much to the Bayshore they both love.
Speaking of Bayshore Pharmacy, congratulations also to Ellen who does all the planning and ordering for the fantastic gift section of the shop that is as busy as the Pharmacy section. Love the way she has arranged the hundreds … or is it thousands…of items they have for all their unusual gifts. It’s probably the largest collection of Irish-themed ideas outside of Dublin, and the collection of fun and educational toys for kids is unique. Of course they also feature lots of books by local authors, and plenty of things for the newly married couple, the sports fan and so much more. Rather than battling crowds and parking cars far from the entrance to a huge store, Bayshore Pharmacy offers close parking and when you’re in there with a crowd, they are your neighbors, the friendly people you like to meet and greet.
