Happy Anniversary, a Few Days Late (Victorville, CA)

Those of you who have followed my adventures recently via my website's "appearances" page will know I have been quite busy. I've had a presentation in Glendale, book signings in West Hollywood, Duarte, and Monrovia, and a bus tour from the Wigwams to Sycamore Grove Park.

Why so busy lately? Well, Saturday myself and several hundred other people celebrated the 11th Anniversary of the California Route 66 Museum and the 80th Anniversary of Route 66 (and the US Highway System). The musuem did the celebration in style with a 50/50 raffle (take home was over $400!), lunch by Juan Pollo, and a big car show. Chick Kirk and Betty Halbe ran the show and made everyone feel welcome. And a special presentation was made by Jerry Holmes to David and Mary Lou Knudson of the National Historic Route 66 Federation for all of their continued hard work over the last 12 or so years.

Friends in attendance that day included the aforementioned, as well as Helen and Harry Baker (Route 66 Preservation Foundation), Kevin Hansel and Lucie McMurtie (California Historic Route 66 Association), Russ Olsen, and fellow "egroupers" Barbara Cummings (Sacramento), Mike and Sharon Ward (Mesa, AZ), and David Willman (Aurora, CO).
