It takes more than the luck o’ the Irish to do a good job filling prescriptions, though; it turns out the leprechaun who stopped by to work the pharmacy counter last Friday was simply a practical joke being played on substitute pharmacist Darren Preuniger, according to Murray’s employees. –Photo by Patty Nance Seniors, people with disabilities, families and caregivers...
