My dad Delbert Stuemke and brother Curly Stuemke ran this station from 1966 to 1991.

Hi Eugene! We'd love to hear more about the memories and stories from that time period. Do you recall any notable events or changes in Effingham County during the years they were there? Has anything changed on the property since the photo was taken in 1975?
