Kids wear Amish hats at The Guernsey Cow in 1970
My sister, Erin, brother, Brian, and I (in snappy jacket and tie) pose in Amish hats in front of the grill inside The Guernsey Cow, Easter morning 1970. Every Easter after church at nearby Sts. Philip & James we would gather at The Cow for breakfast. An Easter basket hunt out behind The Cow among the large trees and bushes with Willie‘s help was always the main event.
The other benefit to being grandchildren of the owners was searching for loose change that fell on floor beneath the ice cream counter. In the photo below from 1973, my brother, Brian, and I are caught in the act.

Thanks to my sister for borrowing these photos from our grandmother, Gladys’, collection!
If you have photos inside or outside of The Guernsey Cow, email me copies to post on the site — we’d love to see them!
Hey look at those rascals!
Oh the memories! Those pictures are exactly what I remember from 1977-79 when I worked there. I helped cook and eat many a #54 on that stainless grill before I would eat the delicious mocha chip ice cream ( I still consider it my favorite ice cream!) My sister Suzy and I both worked there as well as many of my high school friends ( Hi Erin!). I have a picture of Willie and my old boyfriend sitting at E3. Wiilie’s house out back was always so hot! and he couldn’t say my name. Just called me Yaddie. I had forgotten Mackie until I read the previous blog. This is awesome!!
