Jim, Ryan, Alex, an whoever , I dunno where this goes:

I was contacted by Gasoline magazine , a Swedish publication over the Zeppelin Diner and it's adjacent neighbor, a metal Pre Fab Gilmore gasoline station that was at the corner of West Florence and Denver in Hawthorne , a L A suburb , ( THANKS TO Dave Rowleson 's map, a Sunset oil map too ). They want to do a feature story on the construction of these buildings .

Once again I want to thank Jim Treadway of T- ways graphics , Dick Bennett , Dave Rowleson, Nicole Stewart , Gilmore , Chuck Caman and everyone else here at Old gas who contributed in one way or another in the building of this pair which will become a TRIO . Yes, a Pre Fab Richfield is also planned as a part of the diorama in 2014 .

Ed there is no greater accomplishment (family aside, of course) than being recognized by peers for work done. In this case in print. Congratulations! Hopefully more will take notice of your tremendous skills and diligence.

I love your Gilmore service station. Reminds me of the one in Acton California.
You did a great job. I wish I could fill up at a place like that.
