A couple of months ago I decided to see if I could find it so I branched off from I-44 and took the old 66 for a while. No luck. Then last month I passed through on I-44 and low and behold there it was right in front of me. What a pleasure to turn back some history pages.

Another one unearthed from my childhood memories. I thought, like Arthur C. Clarke's story, "Childhood's End": all MY MEMORIES WERE GONE. I remember a 1960's trip from Las Vegas back to Ohio on Route 66. I have the most vivid memory of stopping at this "futuristic glass house" Howard Johnson's. I can still remember to peculiar aqeous aroma of the plastic green bottled, creamy white Phisohex soap my father traveled with for some odd reason or another. I think Phisohex was pulled off the market due to cancer concerns in the 70's. Phisohex might be off the market but my memories of this unique place come back to me in dreams frequently. Wow.

This building still stands across I-44 east of Tulsa and now houses a McDonalds. Route 66 is just a mile or 2 north and still looks about the same as it did 50 years ago, but with most businesses long shuttered. Best wishes, Alex Manz, Ohio Charles:
