Goodness, don't we all feel young. You're the only two in the 80s! But I'm the first to admit my first pack of cards was 1991 Topps at just 5 years old. I didn't know nothing about nothing! A couple years later I learned the name Ken Griffey Jr, and Lord have mercy, I owned a couple! And then I was hooked!
Going back to the present conversation, I believe my mother worked at a drugstore soda fountain: Newberrys. It was either in Walla Walla, or Spokane. I would need to look into that a bit more. Eventually she went to work at JCPenneys, and she met my father selling tires at the Penneys auto store. He set up a kegger just so that he could invite her.
