From the industrial technology shop at Sul Ross State University, to a demanding oil field career, and owning his own business with wife Shera, Eric Welch is happy to be back in Alpine. The Welch’s, who had been long time Oasis customers, purchased ownership of tire shop on Nov. 1, after previous owners Morton and Wilma Smith retired. “It was a fast deal,” Eric said. “I left my oilfield job one day, and the next day I was out here doing this. I am happy to be back here as a full-time member of the community. I have always been proud to live in Alpine.”
