GOOD M ORNING ALL MY FELLOW OLDGAS PETRO GAS GEEK BUDS!

I HAVE BEEN DILIGENTLY WORKING HARD (YEAH...RIGHT) ON RECRUITING PEOPLE FOR FUTURE C.O.T.M'S. FOR EVERYBODY'S READING AND POSTING PLEASURE.

SO FAR, MY RESPONSES HAVE BEEN PRETTY POSITIVE AND HAVE A PRETTY NICE RESPECTABLE SCHEDULE UP UNTIL AUGUST AND IT GOES SOMETHING SORT OF EXACTLY LIKE THIS:

FEB 2005: STANOCOLA BY GARY DRYE
MAR 2005: MOBIL/SOCONY BY RICHARD WEIR
APR 2005: RICHFIELD BY DON BEAVER
MAY 2005: MARTIN (OR ANOTHER CO) BY BUD ELLINGHAUSEN
JUN 2005: KYSO BY REX BENSON
JUL 2005: McCOLL-FRONTENAC BY POGOGAS LANCE
AUG 2005: STANDARD OIL OF CA BY "THUNDER" JEFF
JAN 2006: STD OIL OF IND. BY BOB "LASTGAS15" DRAKE

SO THAT'S THE OLDGAS COTM SCHEDULE TO JULY. AFTER THAT POINT WE NEED AUTHORS TO DO A HISTORY REPORT ON THEIR FAVE OIL COMPANY AS LONG AS IT HASN'T BEEN DONE ALREADY. AND THERE IS PLENTY LEFT TO COVER. HOW ABOUT SHELL? AMERICAN? STANDARD? CROWN? SUNOCO? PENNZOIL? CONOCO? GULF?
PURE? CHAMPLIN? SOME OF YOU GUYS SHOULD TAKE THE LEAD AND DO A STORY SO WE CAN ALL KEEP THE C.O.T.M. BALL ROLLING AND HAVE FUN
IN BETWEEN ALL THE OTHER NEAT STUFF WE AROUND HERE.

PLEASE EMAIL ME AND DISCUSS WITH ME YOUR INSPIRATIONAL OIL COMPANY THAT YOU HAVE A SPECIAL INTEREST IN.

THANKS TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE DONE C.O.T.M'S. IN THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE AND GIVING
AN UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL LOOK AT WHERE THEY ALL CAME FROM!

WE WANT YOU FOR C.O.T.M!"

YOUR COTM CO-HOST

I saw Mike pay over $50 on ebay for a picture of a Sunset station... no not a can or a globe... just a snap shot!
That guy must know lots about Sunset!
Speaking of Sunset... are there any globes known to exist that have NOT been repoped yet? (or should we wait for Mike's report)

Doc,
Put me down for Standard Oil Company of Indiana. It will be next winter before I can get to it. Lets tentatively figure on January of '06.

These COTM features aren't just to show off your stuff. We do them so others can learn about our favorite companies.

Alright guys, it's time to step up and volunteer to do a COTM feature.
