In June 2008 I was contacted by Floyd Perry, Jr. of the Stockton area who was a loyal Gemco customer and
wrote an article in his local paper in 1999 about Gemco. Floyd also came across a photo album that once belonged
to Gemco Security Guard Paul Barbour pictured here-
"Hi Roy, I really enjoy your GEMCO tribute website. I have many fond memories
of GEMCO. I was a longtime customer from the time they opened in STOCKTON,
CALIFORNIA in 1968 and until they closed in 1986. I don't know if you read
my guestbook entry today? Just yesterday, I purchased a GEMCO STORE,
STOCKTON CALIFORNIA, GOING OUT OF BUSINESS album for $25 from a
Used Book Store Website. The album has about 50 photos (of employees, the inside of
the store as well as the exterior of the store), Newspaper clippings of
GEMCO and other Ephemera.
Some of the photos were taken by me around the time GEMCO announced that they
were going out of business, October of 1986.  These are Exterior shots of the STOCKTON,
CALIFORNIA GEMCO. Thanks...Floyd."
THANK YOU FLOYD.
Stockton employees- we NEED YOUR HELP IN NAMING THESE PEOPLE. These are great photos and we need
names to go with them. If you know anyone just email me at
Roy at RoyHooper.com
UPDATE- A BIG thanks to Cindy Gooding Wagner who knew the names of
a lot of the people and to Greg Waddell.
