My first job was at Motto's in Midlothian, around 1973. Henry gave me a walk though the store on my first day, or more like a run, I was 16, he was in his later 50's and I could not keep up with him. I have always used my memory of Henry's work ethic and fair treatment of employees as a model for myself. I wish Henry and his family the best, Pat Ennis
