Liquor store clerk in Cozad

We stopped at a liquor store in Cozad, Nebraska, for some cold diet coke.  First of all, it is really strange to be in a liquor store that sells diet coke.  And beer.  And Nebraska red wine, which we bought because we were curious.  The clerk/owner told us he had lived in the L.A. area for seven years, but he got tired of big city living and moved back to Cozad.

Now he thinks Cozad may be too big.  Cozad has about a thousand people.  It was also the birthplace of the famous American artist Robert Henri, usually given the pronunciation "Robare Onree."  In Cozad, where people knew him, it's pronounced "Robert Henrye."
