Hopefully, there will be others in attendance of my generation, i.e., people old enough to remember "Route 66," the television program, or at least the Nelson Riddle theme music.

my Grandfather was one of the bigwigs in the New Mexico Department of Highways way back when. he was in charge of supervising much of the construction of Highway 66. he and my Grandmother met on the project. her father had mule teams (this was in the 1920s) that hauled in rock for the projects. she would drive the teams in the summer during her break from college and that is how they met. my father was born in one of the long term camps that supported the construction. Route 66 has always been an integral part of my family history
