Nellie was a very special lady. I have many found memories of going to the service station and visiting with Nellie and Willie. My friends and I would buy gum and big red. We played pinball and pool. She enjoyed knowing what was happening with us. She purchased a BCHS year book ad for the station from me when I was in high school even though it was a bit expensive.. I still have the $2 bill she gave me for graduation.
