For many of us who fondly remember him, it may be a surprise to see Bob Moler behind the counter at The Professional Arts Pharmacy, 228 N. Market St., in Frederick.

Here's the backstory. After beginning his pharmacy career at People's Drugstore in downtown Frederick during the 1950s, Bob partnered with Jack Batdorf in 1959 to establish this business and the Medical Arts Pharmacy near Frederick Memorial Hospital.

In 1962, the partners launched Prescription Arts Pharmacy in Bob's hometown of Brunswick, where he served as the pharmacist and public face of the business. In 1981, the pharmacy relocated to the Brunswick Medical Center on 9th Avenue, where it remained until his retirement.
