Johnny fixes my lawn mower at Johnny's Texaco.Bert I ran across an interesting article in a magazine this morning of a resident from Smith Grove. His name is Jonathan McChesney and his father ran a Texaco station in Smith Grove. I think Jonathan worked there as a boy. One of the customers was a Kentucky State Police Trooper who was assigned a 1990 Fox Mustang 5.0 out of the Bowling Green post. The car was special made for the KSP and only 4 were purchased by the KSP. Bowling Green got one of them.
As a teenager Jonathan dreamed of owning a Fox Mustang and becoming a State Trooper. He became a State Trooper on February 14, 1999 and on January 23, 2006 he was able to locate the owner of the KSP car he had dreamed of owning as a boy. He bought it and has restored to exactly as it would appear in 1990.
I thought that was a neat story in a national magazine. Here is a photo out of the magazine of the Trooper and his antique State Police car. Do you know any McChesneys in Smith Grove?
His son is a State Trooper.
His best friend is a retired bird Colonel in the U.S. Army. (Notice: he is a Southern Baptist Sunday teacher. Beware of those!)
Johnny is first class and can fix any damned thing that runs.
Good folks.
