This station was on Amarillo Boulevard and served as his office for sometime. His primary job was to open the Standard stations in the entire Texas panhandle. He remained with Standard Oil/Chevron for 37 years retiring in 1983. Ed Rusche did another picture of another station in Amarillo. Does anyone out there know the location of that station?

Much of what she said relates to this post. If you have a minute, give it a read. We would love to hear your thoughts and continue the conversation.
