Bob’s dad, Bob Sr., opened the junkyard in 1964. The junkyard crusher is a device Bob’s dad built by hooking a diesel engine up to a pair of pneumatic pistons he’d saved from a decommissioned missile silo.
Bob was born in ’66. Named Owens Salvage, the yard is located a mile south of Wellington, a town of about 2,000 people near historic Route 66 and the Oklahoma border.
At 12, he drove himself to his first day of middle school in a Chevy El Camino.
