Kim,
30 plus years ago, my memory is a bit hazy.. I was attending Indian Hills Community College ("Iowa Tech") and studying computer repair. He was a tall slender dark-haired kid and I believe his name was Jim? We used to run down to the Eldon "Y" to buy gas, they would be a penny or two less a gallon there. I think gas was 18 cents a gallon there and 20 cents in town. We would also run down to Missouri on a Sunday to buy 3.2 beer (no beer sales in Iowa on Sunday). I sure remember flying down some two lane highway in that big ol Ford, though!
