This story is funny and yet not so funny.I worked in the office at Woolco. One afternoon a lady came into the store to make a purchase. She went to the checkout to pay for what she had chosen and was paying by a cheque that she wished to cash. 'The cashier asked her for an ID but she didn't have one on her. Then she was asked if she knew someone who worked there and she said," yes, Edna Way in the office." The cashier called the office and asked me if I knew a Georgina Fry and I said "No." The cashier replied ,she told me she knew you for years to which I replyed, the only Fry's I know is Ina Fry and the Fry's on Elizabeth Drive. After awhile I decided to go to the cashier to have a look at the cheque. To my horror it was Georgina Fry who lived on Blackwood Drive whom I had known for years. Immediatey I got on the phone and asked for Mrs.Fry. When she answered the phone all I could do was laugh. I said, "so you're the Georgina Fry who was trying to cash the cheque. Why didn't you say Ina Fry?" Everyone knew her as Ina and not Georgina. In fact nobody knew her name was Georgina. A young manager trainee from Gander knew her and approved her cheque to be cashed. She told me she was embarassed with so many people around and I, a good friend? said that I didn't know her. I had to tell the story to the women in Home League and we all had a good laugh. They too didn't know her name was Georgina. We still remained real good friends down through the years but with INA and not GEORGINA.
