A sale of Nike sports gear at Hallsville Primary School in Hallsville brought together two brothers: Mike Reichert, 66, of O’Fallon, and his older brother, Larry Reichert, 73, of Centralia. As they took time to sit and catch up with each other’s lives — not common for these brothers — they occupied the far wall of the gymnasium, sitting in maroon plastic chairs and greeting visitors who passed by to examine the bright sweat shirts and T-shirts.
