Sept. 23 will always be the day I had to say goodbye to people who were my family ... Boles Chevrolet in Pendleton closed the doors forever. I would personally like to thank Willie Boles and the whole Boles family for allowing me the chance to work for him and his family.

With the economy being what it is today, I am not mad nor will I ever be mad toward Willie and his choice of closing the doors. Out of 22 or so employees only two had found new jobs as of Sept. 23; I being one who didn’t find one as of yet. But we will get back on our feet again. To all of my fellow employees at Boles, thank you for the memories. I will truly miss each and every one of you guys!

Thank you to all who wished us luck and thank you for the diehard Boles Chevrolet customers who stuck with Boles through the years. Boles Chevrolet will truly miss you all. Thanks again to all of my fellow employees and to Willie and his whole family.
