PHARMACISTS INCLUDE ONE LONG TIME LOCAL PHARACIST – JO CALLAWAY AND THE PHARMACIST DIRECTOR, GRADEE DAVIS – A NATIVE OF THE PANHANDLE BUT MRS. DAVIS NOW HAS STRONG LOCAL CONNECTIONS. SHE IS MARRIED TO LIBERTY ATTORNEY BRANDON DAVIS, A LIFETIME LIBERTY RESIDENT WHO HAS JUST BEGUN HIS LAW PRACTICE WITH FIELDER AND GUNTER, IN THEIR LIBERTY OFFICE. FOR THOSE WHO ASK WHY THE PHARMACY DIDN’T OPEN WHEN THE SUPER MARKET WAS REBUILT AND OPENED AFTER HURRICANE IKE THE ANSWER WE GOT IS THE JEFFERSON SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER OWNERS, FROM DALLAS, TOLD US THEY HAD AN OLD LEASE AGREEMENT WHICH FORBADE A PHARMACY. WHEN THAT FORMER TENANTS LEASE EXPIRED BROOKSHIRE BROTHERS WAS ALLOWED TO ADD THE LIBERTY PHARMACY.
