It is quite an adjustment to leave the city of Denver, Colo. and set up fort in Mullen, Nebraska.

You are either “born to be'' or have quite an incentive to succeed in business these days. Mullen has produced a good living.

HELLO! My name is Clif Hendrix. I was born Sept. 24, 1959 to William and Leona Hendrix in Keystone, Nebr. I am the oldest of five (5) children. I graduated in 1976 from Paxton High School. Paxton, Nebr. is 30 miles west of North Platte, Nebr.

I left for school to be an Auto Body technician in Oct. 1978. I attended Laramie Wyoming's Technical Institute in Laramie, Wyo. My education was completed in May 1979. I moved back to Nebraska. I worked at Kohl Motors Body Shop in Ogallala, Nebr. for several months. I then moved to beautiful, colorful Colorado. I was employed with Kl-8 Motors from March 1980 until April 1986. My job was restoring autos, one of a kind or special interest automobiles. A few examples are a '61 Bentley Convertible, a '62 R R Silver Cloud and Reggie Jackson's '72 Corniche Rolls-Royce.

As of May 6, 1987 I purchased Mullen Auto Body Shop from Harold and Yvonne Moy. I have a 24 hour tow service and numerous capabilities of auto repair and for replace-ments.

The body shop had been here in Mullen for 10 years prior to my purchase. Business has just been spectacular and I enjoy living here. I look forward to many happy years to come.
