Editor’s note: Today The Purcell Register introduces a new feature in which civic leaders and others will answer five questions. The following were answered by Victor Lohn, Purcell’s City Treasurer.
Q: What is the best thing about your job?
A: Probably that I just have to work 8 to 5 and then I go home.
Q: What constitutes a bad day? A good day?
A: A bad day is when I have the day planned and when the day ends, I haven’t done anything that I planned. It’s a good day when things are planned and I get everything accomplished.
Q: If you weren’t doing this, what would you be doing?
A: I would probably be traveling. I like to go to historic sites and national monuments because I like history. I would like to go on a cruise to Alaska. Everyone says if you are going on a cruise, that’s the one to go on.
Q: How do you relax away from work?
A: I have a stamp collection and I sort them. I’ve been collecting stamps probably 50 years and I’ve got a roomful.
Q: What do you like about living and working in Purcell?
A: It’s small town America. I grew up in a small town – Lohn, Texas. I’m a fifth generation Lohn.
The town was so small (pop. 69) they played six-man football and there were years they didn’t play football at all when there was just one boy in the high school. I’ve lived in cities, but I like small towns.
I moved from the geographic Heart of Texas to the Heart of Oklahoma.
