Nickname of the owner of the Standard Station in my Dad's hometown that I am re-creating. My grandfather moved the Station building to his farm after it closed in 1972 and my brother, cousins and I used it as a clubhouse. That's me in the "Fonz" shirt.

I am old school, my member number is 57 (I almost got on this site before Jim Potts did), just trying to be smart.
Just like DB we signed up using our real names, thus, unless Jim jumps in to correct me, I am the longest member of Old Gas still using his real name.

Just to let anyone know, I agree, DB has been here longer that I have, possibly an hour.
But, I believe I am the oldest guy making regular posts here on Old Gas.
My first Iowa Gas was in 1988, my first CTO was in 1989, the second year for both of these shows, God have I looked at alot of Petroliana.

My user name is taken from my home. I lived in the station from the age of 3 to 18. The residence was on the left side of the building. A lot of memories. Cheers, Don.

My avitar is a simple graphic I did for my neice. Not many of my paintings would work that small for an avatar except maybe the one below, but I thought it would be confusing considering my name. But DB it could be a self portrait! LOL
After all John Wayne's real name was Marion Mitchell Morrison.

Great thread, good idea DB.
"Oltoydoc" the name has been with me a long time. I liked old toys, but couldn't afford anything really nice, so I'd buy the beaters, fix them up and display them. Then like most collectors, one day I started selling a few to support my addiction, and buy nicer stuff. I'm not into toys much anymore, unless they relate to petro.

Serialist comes from "serialism" a technique that has been used in musical compositions. Kind of avant garde type stuff.

Right now it says POL but I am thinking about changing it back to USAF_POL. I am in the Air Force and am in the POL career field... For Ebay... I stared at the screen and could't think of anything clever so I went with U_ser_ID. POL = Petroleum, Oil and, Lubricants ...at one time many years ago I was a POL officer in the army. I live 7 miles from Texas in Louisiana and our offical state bird is the Pelican...texaspelican
