The presentation will include many never-before-seen nor published images and archival materials. Robert has many fond memories of shopping at Kaufmann’s. While visiting the downtown and free-standing McKnight Road stores, plus several other locations, his mother taught him the craft of shopping, which meant looking for the best merchandise at the very best prices. Those attending the program are invited to share with the audience their stories and memories of Kaufmann’s. Individuals are also invited to bring with them mementos that they may want to share with the audience in a “show & tell” format.
