Oldest Memory Of Working At Gunter? In 1963 when I was eight years old, I would ride around to customers houses with my grandfather on Saturdays when I was out of school and talk to the owners of the houses and tell them how I wanted to be a bug man in the pest control business just like my grandpa when I grew up.
