Gary's Story
Quinton heights elementry , Crane Jr. High. and 2 years at Topeka High. We moved after my juinor year and I graduated from Lyndon High School in 64. 4 years in the Navy and 1 year at sea with my squadron VAW-125 tigertails. We lived on both coasts and Georgia. In late 72 I was back at my old job with the railroad. My wifes dad was a Kansas oil man so in 1980 we mortgaged our car for a 1/16th share of an oil well. 3200 feet to the arbucle zone and we got a dry hole.After we paid our car off again ...Expand for more
, we mortgaged it again. Another 3200 feet with a diamond bit and this time Texas Tea. Big checks big bills. We drilled several more wells and a few dry holes.We sold our oil interests in 1985. I was still working for the railroad. I owned a small insurance agency at one time. We bought , rehabed and sold houses before flipping was cool.I retired from the postal service in 2004. We have rental properties with 30 tenants and an expanding pecan orchard. Child free with no plans for having any soon.
