Mai, God rest her, was just as famous for the number of cats,she kept in her home besides her sweets.On the way home from school,my brothers and I would always stop off first to Pat Lavelles's where he would tell us fascinating stories of long ago & give us all an apple to take home.We would then head for Mai's where it would be packed to the gills with customers.She knew every child by name and had a chat with each person.She would delight in telling us how many times she heard the question "how much are the penny sweets"? A great lady.
