I didn't know the X-ray machine was possibly still in the old Walter Gratz shoe store (my friends and I called him Walter Goose because he sold Red Goose shoes), but I remember stepping into it when my parents would take me in to get shoes at the store.

Seeing my foot bones, which were so interesting!, was quite enlightening. Perhaps it led to my daughter's career choice as an anatomist.

Walter Gratz would carefully study the X-ray showing my foot inside one of his shoes, and help determine if these were the perfect fit for me. Of course, the shoes I liked the best were hardly ever the ones that fit the most perfectly.

Ah yes, the days gone by.
