You say that your mom worked at Lum's Department Store in Morgantown. I never heard of Lum's, my mother (who lived in Morgantown from abut 1942 to 1971 and has been back to visit annually) never heard of Lum's. Was the store in Morgantown, or somewhere else?

Searching Google, I found a Lum's restaurant chain, specializing in hot dogs, but I don't remember one in Morgantown. The chain closed their last store in 1981.

Could she have worked at Hill's, or Heck's, or O. J. Morrison's?
