basically all of us lived here in monowi at one time. i have a daughter and a son.of school. people ask if they worry about me and i say they do but they also respect the fact that this is what i want to do. the post office and the little grocery store closed at about the same time we bought this in ‘71. so that put us into the only business. i open the bar at 9. trucks come and salesmen come and customers come and some people come to visit and have a cup of coffee. they leave messages for one another. they call to see if someone is here. it is a meeting place, a hub, and i think everyone feels welcome to come. everyone needs a place like that, i guess, including myself. i needed this type of vehicle to haul things for work and what have you. being as i am the only one who lives in town i thought it would be great to show it off, i guess. monowi1. i don't go anywhere where people don't recognise me, that's for certain. it was a very active church until the middle of the 1960s. i used to go to church and sunday school there. my father's funeral was the last funeral h
