Nice pictures!!! Dad, I've never seen the color one before of Grandpa's station. Is that the same kind of pump as your signal up in the mountatins? Dwaine, what street in Galt was that station on?

Hey Jason, that station is still on A street , they added another half a building to it . it was a tire shop just before you go over the tracks. thats how they brought the oil in , back then there was a large Seaside bulk plant behind it , but Phillips oil company had to clean it all up in the late 60ties, and the pumps at ol gran pas station looks like wayne 60 ties to me, see you friday.

Just found a picture with DAD in Texaco uniform by new Caddy. 1951. Ted

That's pretty cool Ted...Scott
