My Friend John

Let me tell you a little story.


Lynn and I are looking for property in Texas as meny of you know. Well as things sometime happen, I ended up looking at some property in Morgan, Texas. Now what you do not know, is that John Martin grew up in Morgan, Texas. In fact, he tells me that he got his first job pumping gas at the ESSO station in Morgan. When I called him up during my travels and told him where i was looking at some acreage is when he tells me he grew up in Morgan.
The day I go out to look at the property, John tells me his sister is married and lives close by in Walnut Springs. To make a long story a little shorter, John tells me to look up his sister who is working at the same station so she can qualify for and doubl dip into Social Security. He tells me to look her up and say hello.
After Lynn and I get through looking at the property, we go into Morgan proper. one light, population 486. John tells me the old Esso station is no longer there, however it should not be a problem because there is , only one station in town. We get into town and there are three stations. I stop at the first one and they never heard of John's sister. I go to the next one and determine it is what once was the old Esso station. The original being torn down and a new station built on the same spot. Well I ask the girl behind the counter if John's sister works there and she never heard of her. BUT! no problem, she will call her mom who knows everyone in the area. Well mom is not home. Lynn and I leave. I call John and tell him I could not find his sister. Now comes the good part.
While I am running around looking for the not to be found sister. John tells me, OH! i spoke with my sister and she deceided not to work there, she could make more money substitute teaching. MY FRIEND JOHN.

Tex, Harry, Danny, John, any body out there?
