SHEPHERDSTOWN One of Shepherdstown’s great tragedies this past summer, was the loss of Shepherdstown Liquors owner Mohsen Sadeghzadeh, resulting from injuries sustained in a car accident.
For the six weeks after his death, his business was run by its manager, Whitney Master, until its new owners, Mohsen’s children, felt ready to take over. Peggah Sadeghzadeh and Kaveh Sadeghzadeh have since become integral parts of Shepherdstown Liquors’ operations.
