"Slide Shows" "Western Terminus" - - - "long download!!!!" "CLICK HERE" "Route 66. . . was the road of dreamers and ramblers, drifters and migrants - the chosen path of John Steinbeck, Woody Guthrie and Jack Kerouac." M. Wallis “A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policies and coercion are fruitless. We find after years of struggle that we do not take a trip : a trip takes us.” - John Steinbeck
Following are some thoughts from our classmates From Terry Sprague
John - this is really unbelievable. One dream of mine (about 8 years ago)
was to get a small RV and work my way around the country. I wanted to visit
classmates living in other states and also to be a part of the local special
"doin's". You know - see a real rodeo, etc.
Kathy's comment about a road trip get together made me think about it and
realize that I ain't gettin' any younger! Since this year is spoken for for
me and time off work, we should put some more thought into a group Rt 66
thing for next summer. Whaddya' say?
From Kathy Jones (Miata)
I'm joining the crowd. This is a real possibility you know. I want to be on the PR committee to get NBC to
follow us.
From Jeff Reed
Hi John. Hope that trip comes together. We'll be here at the tail end. We
live a half mile off route 66 in Rialto. Did you know there is a WigWam
motel here? Doesn't look near as nice as the other one in the picture.
From Van Pinkerton ('55 Chevy) Hey John,
Sounds like great fun. I know the '55 Chevy will make it from my house to Santa
Monica. Let me know when the caravan will be passing by and I'll join you in
Victorville (Roy Rogers Museum & hometown). The more the merrier. From Carolyn Kwasnik-Wright Which way are you going From St Louis on 44? To Branson Mo. or Springfield (Bass Pro) I Live in Arkansas Mtn. Home close to 2 lakes on the Missouri border. . . Bull Shoals & Norfork Lake.
From Butch & Julie Stoddard (Cobra) Julie and I talked about it yesterday sounds like a plan,now can we do it . . . . maybe.
From Danny Corsello (Shelby GT350) JOHN: KEEP ME INFORMED! IF I HAVE MY SHELBY GT350 ROADWORTHY BY THE TIME YOU WISH TO
GO.........I MAY JOIN YOU! THANKS, DAN
From Danny Painter (Customized Nissian truck)
John,
Dear John,
John . . . I might be able to join up in Arizona.
I won't be able to meet you but sounds like Fun. After I got out of the Army I hitchhiked to LA and back partly on
66.
From Linda Bailey-Wells
When I was a lot younger, I had a boyfriend who had the longest hair I had ever seen on a man. In the late 60's we made the trip down Rt. 66 (in our 49 Studebaker Commodore) several times to California, land of the free and home of the hip, according to a song by Biff Rose.
In the late 70's my "ex" and our son moved to Kingman Ariz. We had many afternoons in Oatman, playing with the burros, having our picture taken in front of the Oatman jail and had lunch under the London Bridge one afternoon, a little side trip You might want to take.
Memories of a gas war on the way where gas was like 12.5 cents a gallon. Stopping in a cafe in Oklahoma to get a cup of coffee and some wiseacre playing "Okie from Muskogee" repeatedly on the juke box........... the wonderful feeling when after all those miles we crossed the state line into Ohio..........
From Al Figley
John, Let me know when the caravan will be going through Victorville, CA. We'll join Van with our '73 Porsche 914. It sounds like a blast. Keep
me posted.
From Rick Leigh . . . the road trip sounds awesome. I travel to California every August on business
(. . . 2 hours a day). I'd love to make part of the trip even if it is only the party. . .
