McNeil's has been there over 75 years.  They celebrated their 50th when I was there in about 82.  Charlie and Virginia McNeil owned it then and their daughter and son-in-law, Steve and Pam Grimes, both worked their along with Charlie's stepmom Gladys.  Their son Steve was not actively involved with the store.  Charlies's father started the business by selling/trading Maytag wringer washers out of his old Model A truck.  Charlie married Virginia, who's family owned Ball Furniture and they combined the businesses and the rest is history.  I think Ned was Charlie's brother but he was not involved, at least when I worked there in the 80's.  Great family and you will never get better service.  I have a million stories from working there.  Love that family and the employees that are like family.

Is that the same Steve Grimes whose Fort Worth family owned Grimes Design Studio near UNT Health Science Center?

No, Steve's family was from Denton.

It is a Tillman Johnson. Not a Boutwell, sorry.

No problems. I was pretty sure I had bought up all of his jerseys.
