<VV> TIRED BACKS AND GAS DON'T MIX

[Bob Saunders]

I remember the night a friend cleaned the garage floor of the gas station
with "White Gas" to get rid of the oil and grease.{ he was an employee} It
had been done several times before. Circa 1967. On last nights news I heard
that the DNR had finally closed their book on the station, 25 years after
closing 20 years after the owners death.
