Gayland's Story
Life
I'm still living here in Borger. I worked at KBBB (now defunct) as news director from about 1975-1978. I went to work at the Borger Fire Department in 1978 as a firefighter. I served as Borger Fire Chief from Jan 1996 to July 2007. I have now retired, and intend to move on to another community when the time is right for that.
I have been married several times (trust me, you don't want to know), but I'm single and doing okay.
I enjoy astronomy, electronics, camping, genealogy, and I read a LOT. I also collect old-time radio programs, such as Burns & Allen, Jack Benny, etc. I now have about 15...Expand for more
,000 shows. These were broadcast before my time, but most of the shows are pleasant, with a refreshing humor that is lacking in most programs today.
Borger is the same as always...in a constant state of change. Many of the stores downtown are closed but some are now re-opening. Borger goes through boom-or-bust periods...currently we are in a boom. The Conoco-Phillips refinery is expanding again, so that bodes well for the city's long-term health.
For those of you who have moved away, if you have specific questions about how things are here in Borger now, please don't hesitate to drop me a line.
