1950s

Aerial picture of Loe’s Highport Marina on Lake Texoma taken in the 1950s owned by Henry Clountz, who worked for Loe’s for many years as a night watchman on the gas dock; it was a floating dock, so the boats could drive up to it, and the workers would put gas and oil in the boats, help fix minor problems, or sell bait. The gas dock where Henry Clountz and other men worked can be seen in the photograph above; a ramp can be seen extending out into the water with a dock on it. A little house was built on it, which was the gas dock so boats could easily pull up to it for refuleing or repairs..

At night, like the shift Henry Clountz worked, there were also night watchmen who made sure everything was okay with the boats and boat houses at the marina, as well as at the businesses along the marina.
