Please read the family biography below:

"Our father, Albert, was born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in 1941. Some folks would joke and say our family came from a line of traveling gypsies, as travel has always been a passion in our family. Our family did settle down in Escondido, California, by the time Al was a teenager. There he graduated high school and attended San Diego State University. As an adult he moved around California some more and started a career at Atlantic Richfield Company, better known as ARCO, at the well-known towers located in downtown Los Angeles. Albert’s career with ARCO spanned over 30 years, where he held different titles such as Financial Analyst and Senior Products Buyer. Still never knowing exactly what he wanted to do, but always had a passion for travel and taking his wife and two daughters on adventures all over the United States. His years with ARCO afforded him to make these dreams a reality. Al (or Big Al, as his friends would call him) became an avid collector of any and all things related to the Richfield Oil Company, Atlantic Petroleum, ARCO and often other companies in the petroleum business in the early 1990’s. Adding to the pieces he had already acquired from working at the company since the mid to late 1960’s, Al acquired a variety of items including pins, belt buckles, lighters, ashtrays, manuals, signs, oil cans, globes and much more. Al retired from ARCO at the age of 54, only returning as a part time consultant for a year longer. It also was a time to travel with his wife Diane, who had collections of her own."

The family would like to thank everyone for their participation in their parents auction.

GOOD LUCK!
