" Another little La Crosse connection here... In the video where the Texaco Station in Independence was filmed, when it comes to the part showing the man named "Skinny" on his Harley, thats my father with my sister Lynn, on his 48 Panhead. I guess this explains why I'm into the motorcycle gig! "

" We caught that show last spring on WPT. It was really fascinating and fun to watch. Who knew that old gas stations could be so interesting?! Good luck with the book tour! "

" I recalls that Wisconsin Public Television (WPT) did a program some years back on the very same subject (it re-runs often, usually on 31.1 - digital - the "Wisconsin Channel" - because they don't really have enough material to fill up 24 hrs daily with new, original programming).
That Pure station (which I remember) housed a TV repair and antenna construction business for a number of years, prior to it's current or last use. "
