Grevens Reflect on Co op as Social Movement at Fortieth Anniversary
Hans and Georgia Greven joined the Co op celebration on April 28 as Gladys Scott led reminiscences of early history. They recalled founders W. Bradford Shank and Manford Ettinger, the move from a buying club to Cable Court by 1935, and efforts to engage members. Discussions questioned if the Co op sustains a 1930s spirit while celebrating present success and potential future directions.
