Ed, I am not about to argue with someone who met DV Scotty in person! I can see that the line you laid out does indeed connect the dots in a way that is not unreasonable. But just to be thorough I'd still like to know what was going on with AmPot management in 1936 at the time the order was placed.
There should be a way to cross-link posts in this thread to the "Most interesting person you ever met" thread in the Lounge. You'd get lots of points for Scotty.
Barstow in 1948 -- I conjure up a mental image of a highway with half a dozen gas stations on each side, three motels, two coffee shops and maybe a post office. It sure is bigger now.
