ABOUT ME

My Father

Dad looking "Good"

After a while my dad left the family farm and worked for an oil company. He worked his way up to managing the bulk plant.

(The bulk plant is where the underground lines of oil come in from from around the country. It is stored in huge silo like things.)

During World War II, my father was the only brother left at home. His health kept him from going but he had to work the farm just the same. One of his sisters helped quite a bit, doing very strenuous physical labor.

My dad, pictured on the left, wearing his service station uniform, looking like the old Texaco man from television commercials.

My father mostly worked at farm work until he got a job selling cars. Then he went to work for one of his brothers who owned a gas station. After a while he switched to a major gas company where he was promoted to a management job. He did that most of his life. The picture on the right was from an advertisement for oil. My dad's the man on the right. The larger view shows it a lot better.

This is my dad at that same first gas company job. He is inside the store. If you click on the picture you will see a whole lot more.

So my dad met my mom, got married, had 6 wonderful kids, (well at least one) ha ha, and lived happily ever after. If you want to see some pages with lots of other pictures of him with us kids go to My Father

Here are the pages about my dad, one made a couple years before I made this one.

Hey, when I said "All about me," I really meant it!

I'll include my list of all my "regular" web pages at the top of each page so if you get tired of hearing all about me, you can escape to some place else. But for now, here are some more personal pages...
