Just thought you would like to see that I do other things besides write books.
The story goes: 1988 I purchased 100 pumps; Iowa Gas was coming up in about 3 months; went to the pump pile and pulled one out; restored it, took it to Iowa, sold it withing minutes of arriving; Was so green, I didn't know that display part meant anything special; "Check the Oil Magazine was there, my pump was the only pump shown from the whole swap meet.
