The "The New Grebinger Gallery and Custom Frame Shop" Story

It was an ordinary day.  Grand opening and ribbon cutting day!  A little over 13 years ago I retired from public school teaching and went to work part-time for one of my students that I had in my photography class.  I was ready for a change and Keith was willing to give me a try in his gallery and frame shop which he had opened six years before in the Village of Fiddler's Green in Neffsville, PA.  For years we matted and framed 2 and 3D art and memories and stretched some of the neatest canvas paintings.  We worked out of two, but close-by, locations in Neffsville.  And, finally Keith had the chance to move the gallery and frame shop and the workshop together.  A few months ago he purchased a building at 2618 Rear Lititz Pike, Neffsville and after 19 years in the same location has moved.  The past few months have been hectic with the move, but the last three nights the new Gallery and Custom Frame Shop was on display for former and new customers.  The first night's festivities featured a ribbon cutting and a visit from Scoops and Cookie of Sweet Frog Frozen Yogurt.  All evenings featured food and gifts as well as demonstrations on the computerized mat cutter Keith purchased about seven years ago.  The open house was well attended and I enjoyed participating in it.  Keith and Cindy, his wife, are proud of their new building and hope it will bring in more work and customers to Grebinger's Gallery and Custom Frame Shop.  As for me, I am proud to be a part of one of my former high school student's career and life.  Pretty neat and rewarding.  It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.  PS - check out the photos from the open house.
