Yeah, he was. If I remember correctly, he was also into martial arts, and I think he mentioned he taught it for a bit as well.

Do you know where he is these days?

No clue. I stopped going to his store a bit before he closed due to not having the same disposable income. He also, I believe, was having issues getting his books in on time and I think it hurt his business, so when I did try and stop by, he was closed. I know he also was late in adopting newer computer-based sales methods that other shops already had, so that may have hurt things for him too. I did hear from another former customer years ago he may have been briefly living in the spare storage room at the shop. Aside from hearing someone saying they say him at that Borders before it closed, no word at all. I think he was originally from Iowa or somewhere up there, so maybe he moved back? I do wish I knew, and hope he is doing well.

Gerald is my grandfather-n-law. He’s a very good man.

Would he still be in any kind of contact with BJ to know how he is doing? Also, let Gerald know that his store is missed. I think often about what kind of old children’s books the place might have had now that I have a young daughter.
