L-C Cafeteria? Yes, I remember it well. Why? Because I went to work there in 1965, hired as Catering Manager, and then left in about '69 (as Assistant Manager). John Lewis (always Mr. Lewis to me) was no longer the co-owner, having sold to Walgreen's. I was previously the Manager of the ONLY Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant in the entire state of Texas (also owned by Mr. Lewis). When it closed, the Manager of the L-C, Mr. Jerry Krystynik, invited me to come to the L-C as their Catering Manager (as well as Line Manager of 2 of the 4 serving lines). It was a very special place to work, open 6 days; closed every Sunday. Mr. Lewis came around often, and was much revered and loved by his former employees. He was a kind, generous, gentle man and gentleman. (He had a temper, but cooled down quickly.)
Mr. Durham, any chance you remember a little short, mid-50s lady by the name of Benita Gonzales? She worked at the pastry counter of the L-C for many years until she retired in about the mid 80s.
