I really enjoyed this story. It brought back memories of my dad's Vickers gas station on the South edge of Emporia, just North of Soden's Bridge. As a young boy in the early 's 60's I worked for my dad and I could visualize in my minds eye the scene described in the writers story. The people that gathered inside the old station to tell stories or maybe they were just there to listen and to connect with others. My dad was a great listener. Saturday afternoons the place would fell up with these wonderful people, especially after rainstorms. This was great. Thank you for publishing the story; it really brought back some fond memories,
