• Man Who Was Pharmacist In Ridgewood For Decades Dies (patch.com) — Ridgewood residents are remembering Robert "Bob" Zadra, an 82-year-old pharmacist who spent four decades serving customers at Town & Country Apothecary on East Ridgewood Avenue. Despite holding multiple advanced education degrees and having served as a Manhattan school principal, he chose to devote much of his life to the village pharmacy, continuing to make plans even after learning of a brain tumor last month.
