Stewart's Pure Station

 This is Base Camp Restaurant at the foot of Kennesaw Mountain. Before it was Mountain Biscuits. We had breakfast there this morning after a doctor’s visit. This building was a Pure Service Station. When we were in our preteen years Van Callaway, Sam Carsley and myself walked to and up to the top of Kennesaw Mountain as we did sometimes. Afterwards we stopped at this Pure For refreshments. A country store was inside. Behind the counter was our math teacher Dallas Stewart. He told us his parents owned the store. Dallas and his wife, also a teacher, lived in the basement. Years later I was talking to my mother-in-law’s friend, Babara Tilley, who lived in our neighborhood, and she told me she and Dallas were siblings. She has since died. It’s a small world.
