For many years Archie greeted me, well, he greeted everyone who walked into the ShopRite grocery store in Flemington, New Jersey. Over that time I began talking with Archie and I would lose track of time. It was a joke in our house that a simple quick trip to pick up a couple of items would turn into at least an hour for what should have been a quick run there and back.
What I learned was Archie had a history. He has always been generous sharing his time with Veterans groups and school children to share some of that history and the lessons he learned.
Archie agreed to sit down with me as part of my series of stories for WDVR Country. I hope you enjoy Archie’s story.
