When pharmacist Logan McNeil bought a property last year in downtown Vernon, B.C., for his new drugstore, he had no idea the site was previously occupied by a long-defunct pharmacy well known to many people who grew up in the community. But then this August, his construction team discovered a bill issued by MacKay's Prescriptions, a family-run business that operated at the same address from 1948 to 1986. Much to McNeil's surprise, Janis MacKay — daughter of the late MacKay's Prescriptions owner Doug MacKay — responded to him a day after he posted a photo of the bill on Facebook. Doug MacKay's daughter Janis MacKay, left, shows Logan McNeil an old newspaper where an article about her father was published. Sandy MacKay says she and her sisters are thrilled this new family-run business can continue their father's legacy.
