Solid Potato Salad - The Ross Sisters 1944
"The kids on "So You Think You Can Dance" could take a lesson or two from the Ross Sisters. I am wondering why they did not become better know back then."
Henrys Ra66it Ranch left a comment for Doug Smith"Doug,
the Mapquest is the correct one. Our ground is pie shaped with Madison on one side and Route 66 on the other. Big building on northern part of our ground is where we are at. You will have to head up sometime and surprise us.

- About Me:
- RV roadie and retired slacker after many many years of no vacation while doing corporate and catalog advertising photography. Much of my career work was 8x10 film format and in-camera special effects. Of course, digital cameras and Photoshop make it too easy now. Photographers of today miss out on that fear of career death and potential for failure that created exciting "creative energy". Having said that, I am a great believer in the "Great American Snapshot" and in truthful documentation photos of people and places. They will be important now and in the future, long after all the advertising shots are and in the landfill.
- Favorite Music:
- Classic Jazz. My heart beat is in sync with Count Basie. and Lester Young's sax is the greatest. Love the girl singers, Helen Ward, Martha Tilton, Ella, Billie, Jeri Southern, ect. Newbies who are excellent are Krall, Natalie, Rhonstadt, Renee Olstead. Great Guys include Nat King Cole, Sinatra, Torme, Bennett, Joe Williams, and newbie Buble. I have always been a big fan of West Coast Jazz greats such as Brubeck, Desmond, Mulligan, Chet Baker. Whew!!!! ....... I am into it, so to speak. Always had jazz in the studio and refreshments in the frig.

- Take that big rebate check that is coming in mail and earmark for Litchfield. I grew up in St Louis 1st 30 years of my life. Now in Staunton, Illinois for last 31. Litchfield is on 52 miles from the Arch. What part of St Louie are you in? Come up and visit with us Bunnie and VW ra66its.
In the meantime keep that RV between the ditches of old 66 and we will catch you on the flip flop.

- Thanks to all for comments. RVing down 66 to Rolla for a few days. May not have WiFi for awhile. Wish we could make it to Litchfield. Have obligations too far south, but will try.

James M Conkle said… - Hello D Smith,
Welcome to a really GREAT group of roadies. I too echo Ron's statement, 'Hope to see you in June in Litchfield.' You will get to meet a very large number of folks within the Route 66 Community.
Please be sure to make yourself known to me and Michael Wallis. Although we will be busy we will find time to get to know you.

Don Gray said… - I had planned on coming to St Louie in early July for the Shriners Imperial Session but the gas prices have messed up those plans. I was going to pull the El Zaribah Shrine float with a 12 foot tall Fez. It's quite the sight ... but I guess my next trip to St Louie will be on my Harley instead. Hope to see you out in Arizona traveling our long stretch of 66. I'll be doing the Fun Run starting in Seligman next weekend. Take care.
