E-mail sent to Dave Kusel from Kerry Joens about Bob...

Hi Dave,
I have this story about Bob - I'll call this The day I became a man.
It was a blazing hot summer day in the early 70s. I was 16 maybe 17. Bob got a call from a farmer down by Gray who had a flat tire on a piece of equipment in the field.
Bob told me to start loading up the pickup with everything we needed to fix the flat. We headed out to Gray. We drove out into the field and started fixing the flat. By the time we were done we were both drenched in sweat, but we got the job done so the farmer could continue his work.
On the way home Bob pulls into the Wagon Wheel. We walk in and both sit at the bar and Bob orders 2 beers. We had our Manning Oil shirts and caps on, and when the lady behind the bar comes back with the beers I pull my cap down a little farther down my face. She looked at Bob then at me and set the beers down in front of us. We took a big swig. I looked over at Bob and smiled big. He looked at me and said, '"If you can work like a man, you can drink like a man."'
That was The day I became a man. I'll never forget that day.

Bob had a significant influence on me during my early working years at the station, almost as much as my own dad.
He taught me a work ethic I carried forward in my life to where I am today.
