A familiar face at Tick Klock Drug is heading for retirement today. Gwen Oldenburg, long-time pharmacist at the store, will have her last day at work today, Sept. 24. She has been at Tick Klock for nearly five decades.

“We’re thinking 48 years,” she said. “None of us could really determine for sure.”

A retirement celebration will be hosted in her honor throughout the day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Tick Klock. Cake and punch will be served.
