Closed on Christmas

 My father, Delbert Keith Brown,
 ran a Shell gas station in Hudson, Columbia County, New York.
It was called Del's Shell by the Park.

Each Christmas Eve he cleared out the bays where auto repairs were normally done and he gave a party for customers with lots of food and beverages. On Christmas Day he closed the gas station. This 1964 clipping lists his reasons for closing as our mother and us children.
