Texaco gas station, the man who wears the Star..

I was the man..well teenager...who wore the star, for a couple years. Checked the oil, washed the windows, filled the tank and added oil from a can with a spout that you slammed into the can.

Fridays in grade school, reading Weekly Reader.

I think it’s 7 to 8th grade. I got a little bit more modern. I think they called it Scholastic or something.
