Oh boy. Another trip back….. even for me. While attending graduate school at Illinois State University in 1971, my wife and I lived on the East (I believe) side of route 66 in Bloomington, Illinois. Actually, I had a one day job roofing right off Route 66 in January 1972 and after nearly freezing to death I quit. When you’re up three floors up and your hearing trucks rumble down 66, it’s quite scary for a rookie like me. My wife worked at a preschool center there also off-road 66 but on the other side (west?). We traveled route 66 frequently and often times to either St. Louis or Chicago. It’s really nice to see your story because it’s important to our country and us.

Because of what and how you write all responses are positive…. At least they should be.
I love hearing these stories.
