Description: Transcription: Traveler It was the night of the big blizzard. 0:01 I was in Ossining, New York, 0:03 and I knew I couldn't drive much further. 0:04 When I saw a light up ahead. 0:07 It was a Texaco station. 0:09 During the night, about 30 or 40 people were stranded here. 0:12 There were even little children. 0:16 The manager of the station, Mr. Wool, was great. 0:18 He went out and bought us meat 0:21 and bread and soda without any charge. 0:22 Then he led us in small groups to a convent. 0:26 So we'd have a place to spend the night. 0:30 It was about a quarter of a mile away. 0:35 And we had to hike in on foot through the snow. 0:36 I'm sure lucky I got to that Texaco station that night 0:42 because this man was a real life saver. 0:45 Narrator Walter Wool. 0:49 Another Texaco retailer 0:50 who's taken a business that's good for cars 0:51 and made it a business good for people. 0:53 (upbeat music) 0:56
