MY FATHER'S DAY TRIBUTE TO MY WONDERFUL FATHER

My very favorite photo of me with my Dad, Arthur Howard Guerra.
He was born in San Antonio in 1908 and died of a fatal heart
attack at the age of 69. He was still working at his Mobil service station
every day. He was a hard working man, and a wonderful father.
Handsome, too. The photo below was taken in 1952. Note the
price of gasoline....24.9 cents per gallon for regular and 26.9 cents per
gallon for premium!

Lovely picture. Petrol's still cheap over there - our prices are about to hit $5.88 per gallon

Thanks for posting these photos; what a little cutie you were! About the price of gas: if the cost was paid in 2005 dollars, the gas would be roughly $1.90 per gallon.

What great memories, Petesie. He looks like he doted on you, and the station shot could have been an advertisement. Good post.
