lewisotr

A new game warden was assigned to Marble Falls. He and the DPS Officer at the time would gather at the Yacht Cafe with all the cowboy/rancher types that would met in the morning after their rounds. With everyone sitting around a table one morning the subject came up about road hunting. The Game Warden looked at Glenn and said “I know you are doing it and when I catch you I’m going to put you in jail”.

Olin Sylvester had a welding shop on 3rd Street in Marble Falls, just down below the Pool Hall. Olin had remarkable welding skills. Regardless of what we tore up on trucks and machinery, he could stick it back together. He was a hard worker and very steady at his craft.

I spent a lot of time at that welding shop, taking in pieces, picking them up as well as hanging around waiting … Continue reading Olin Sylvester’s Welding Shop
