I wasn't there!  I was at college, 75 miles to the frozen north!

Thanks. I knew the one character was Dameron. Now I know who the rest
were. These were the photos I mentioned last fall when I visited. The
pictures were taken on January 28, 1967. The mystery is that the car was
signed for Route 66, but the hand made sign on the dash read, "76 Last
Chance."

So did the people along the 76 decorate the car even though it toured
other East End lines? Why didn't one of you guys trip Mr. Dameron and
see to it that he fell under the car somewhere behind the safety fender?
