Growing Up With G.I. Joe's

This is a history of G.I. Joe's Stores (known as Joe's Sports from 2007 to 2009), and how my father, Edward Orkney, started the business as an army surplus store in 1952, in Portland Oregon. He led the business until his death in 1976. I realize now, just how special that time and place were. This is my tribute. Janna Orkney, copyright, 2008
