Woodrow Thompson - Long-Time Service Station Operator

Sue Spivey Lord sent me this early photo of the service station which was owned and operated for years by Woodrow Thompson and his wife. The station was located in Toomsboro on Ga. Hwy 57 near the blinking-light intersection. Woodrow, known affectionately to locals as Rodie (sp)and his wife, Margarite, lived in a house on 57 near the station, and one of them was nearly always at the station to serve customers. I remember the couple was good friends with my Uncle Reginald Freeman and his first wife, Sarah Weaver Freeman, back in the early 1950's.
