This is a story about jobs that, by and large, simply don’t exist in the United States anymore. Or if they do, are holding on by the fiber-optic thread that will soon extinguish the occupation for good. Some are ancient history, like the iceman who has not cometh since the Eisenhower Administration. And others—including the minimum wage Wal-Mart “greeter” that once welcomed people into the Cedar Knolls store—were here just yesterday. But, this story has a happy ending, at least for one Morristown shoe repair shop and its many loyal customers.
