The Chovanecs
ran the store on the square that bears their name for 35 years.
Jerry's father ran it for years before that. Recently they retired
and have enjoyed cutting down their schedule to work at only 2 part-time
jobs (each).
After their retirement, Jerry and Shirley didn't go to Disneyworld.
The first thing they did was visiting local nursing homes where
many of their former customers now live. We don't get to see them
much, since they get up before everyone else and and get home long
after everyone's asleep. At least when they ran the store we knew
where to find them. Now they're seen at the school, the bank, and
it sure looked like Jerry up on the water tower last week.
The Chovanec name is well known around Fayette County. If you meet
a Chovanec in Fayetteville, don't think they're necessarily related
to Jerry and Shirley, but they probably wish they were.
