Posted on July 22, 2000 Pat Garrett Cash was in from Florida the first of April, visiting her son, daughter, grandson and sister. Pat and Sharon Camden Coleman had a great day together visiting Steve Agnor in Danville. We heard Steve had quite a spread on the table when they arrived. If you visit Steve, go at meal time! ;-) Steve Agnor was in town the 1st of May and spent a few days with his bother, Lowell. Actually, we think he was trying to recoup his losses...he also spent a day at Sharon Camden Coleman's. We heard they were seen having lunch at Kenny Burgers and then had dessert at her house. Boy, does that man love cherry pie and ice cream! ;-) Congratulations!!! To Ronnie Humphries new owner/operator of 'Buena Vista' Shell (known in 1973 as Nuckols' Service Station). Ronnie turned the key on May 1st. Besides having the lowest gas prices in town, Buena Vista Shell is one of the few full service stations in our area offering complete car care. Take the day off...let Ronnie do that wash/wax job and oil change. Wishing you all the best Ronnie! (We hear he is never low on gas!) ;-) Welcome Back!!! As of July, Nancy Ramsey Brown will be back on the East coast, residing in Crystal City. We're happy your wish came true, Nancy!
