He ran a neighbourhood hardware store for decades. Now, the nostalgia is bringing him back

Lee Helmkay worked at Argyle Hardware in London, Ont., for 40 years, from the day it opened in 1947 until it closed in 1986, after purchasing the store from his father in the late '50s. Now 92 and living in Leduc, Alta., he plans to go to his old neighbourhood this May.
