Husband and wife for 50 years, business partners for 47! What an outstanding challenge and accomplishment! My mom, Margaret Marks; the key to all behind the scenes operations at the Cobbler Shop: payroll, bookkeeping, merchandising, invoicing, advertising and keeping the boys downstairs in line (no small feat!). Marg was often diligently working in her office upstairs but could be found in the store window, storefront or chipping in wherever she was needed. Her gentle, methodical nature is the perfect foil to my dads’ jolly, whirling dervish approach. Otherwise known on the job as”my bride” (dad) and Maggie (Bob), mom has been instrumental in the long term success of Marks’ Cobbler Shop. Here’s to you Maggie Muggins!
