In an effort to improve the look and feel of historic Templin’s Center, all the signage around the building was removed to paint. One of the signs (the Main street sign) for Ray’s Pharmacy was stolen from our loading dock. We, as a family, are doing our best to help improve our corner of Eastsound and to continually serve the community.
That sign is over 20 years old and very important to our business and our family. I’m so frustrated with this theft. What importance can this sign be to anyone but our family and staff? We simply can’t afford another expense this year, as we were planning on restoring the original sign so it could last another 20 years.
Please, whoever has the sign, please give it back. No questions asked.

The sign what was taken has been a very important “landmark” for us in the community and, also, our summer visitors. Rick and Marlyce have done a wonderful job with Ray’s. I have watched it change over the last 50 years and applaud the way they have expanded, yet kept our island flavor.
Please, please, please return the sign. It’s ok if you don’t want to be identified as the person who “borrowed” it. Leave it at the front door in the dead of night, if you must. Just bring it back!
