Only One Life - By Dale Gentry - His Story - His Journey

On our wedding day, Jean and I moved into our

first home. I had bought a small, 21-foot trailer, for three

hundred dollars. Jean brought everything she owned in

a small suitcase, and we started our life together in

Stecker, Oklahoma. Two teenagers in love! Ready to

spend the rest of our lives together!

1962:

In 1962, Jean and I, and my mom and dad, moved

back to my hometown of Comanche, shortly after my

dad resigned the church in Stecker. I started working

with my dad, where we operated a Texaco gas station.

It was a full-service station that included windshield

washing, checking tire pressure and oil. I was making

$35.00 per week but was still dreaming of being a radio

announcer and sportscaster. God is an awesome God!
