The Moose on Park Street From Don French: My aunt, Flossie Gay, worked at the Park Pharmacy for many, many years. Even though she only worked behind the counter, she always wore a nurse-like white smock. The pharmacist was Barry Claybrook, and like many other Paso businesses of that time, he treated his employees like family. The pharmacy was on the corner of 12th and Park Street in the 1892 Clock Tower building that was destroyed in the 2003 earthquake. Next to the pharmacy on Park Street was a barber shop where my Mom took me for haircuts, and on the wall was a huge moose head. The barber always told me that the moose was just sticking his head through the wall, and his body was in the Park Pharmacy. Little did he know that my Aunt worked there. So one day I asked her and Mr. Claybrook if I could see the moose, and they took me into the back of the pharmacy. Of course, there was no moose!
