Without fanfare on April 6, Darrell Groman will mark his 25th anniversary of opening an optometric practice in Pandora.
He might pause between patients, ranging from age 4 to 84, to eat some cake and reflect upon the past quarter century of offering vision care which began in the rural village of population 1,000 on the first Wednesday of April in 1986.
What was it like growing up close to the lake? Did you spend summer days at the beach?
I actually grew up in Coldwater which is a smaller town close to Celina. It was really no different than any other small town. We never really went to the lake unless it was a special occasion and someone had a boat. When I was young we just rode our bicycles to the town swimming pool. Once I was in high school I had band and worked most of the time. So, nothing really special.
