Vickers

I about started crying when I read this article. Yes my dad, Jack Heins, had the Vickers down by Sodens Grove here in Emporia. I can remember going and visiting my dad and you would have to squeeze in to find a place because the "older" guys were standing around talking trying to get warm around the heater. My dad always checked the oil, water and tires no matter what. He was a good listener and if no one came in for a while he would sit and read his Bible or Louie L'amore books. What a great place it was and yes the building was torn down, but i can see it in my mind and i will never forget it.
