Mervin Barnhurst was the former manager of the service station and worked there shortly after it opened.
"With the resuming of tourist travel after the war, they saw automobile use just skyrocketing," Peter Densmore, spokesperson for Bryce Canyon said.

So it made an impression."
Six kids and many grandkids later, the Barnhursts are still together, living at the nearby Garfield County Nursing home, more in love than ever before.
