Back then, their hospitality room was unlimited. You could sit and drink all day long.......they even had several domino tables where to local retired folk would come and play and take advantage of the free beer. The hospitality room closed for an hour at lunch so the seventy something year old server could take his lunch.

Also, for some reason, you could not get Shiner in Austin back then.......you had to drive down to at least either Smithville or La Grange. On any trip that way, I always had to pick up a case of Bock for one of my classmates and he always gave me a few extra bucks for my trouble.

Looking back.......I am amazed I survived those years.............
