Advantages of owning petsDLike many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.When Mary

49、was hospitalized with heart trouble in 1989, they decided it was time to get serious.
