Mid-morning shoppers at Moraga's H & A Hallmark & Fine Gifts enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame, plus free coffee and pastries, during a recent KKDV Radio catered coffee break. With store owner Jay Patel watching, sales clerk Elizabeth White bantered briefly on-air with DJ Steve Fox while co-workers Linda Podwalny and Barb Swanson looked on. "We need more support from Moraga [residents]," Patel said. Former Moraga Mayor Karen Mendonca was also on hand. When told she'd just missed the group photo, Mendonca joked: "I don't have to be in every picture!"
