And Jerry, from Shasta County, was unimpressed that a representative of the Route 66 Assosiation happened to be there. He needed to mark a big map exactly where 66 was, and is. This done by now, he was willing for me to meet his boss. I left with Jerry s quick rendition of squared sixes and the spaced out US letters, and the promise that our historian and artist, Darin Kuna, would provide an authentic drawing and get it quickly back up to them. As a result Darin s detailed proposal indicating the freeway off ramps where directional signs are needed was included with his rendering of the final design of California s first new historic road sign.
Bill works there as a professional baker.
Bob Dressel is the owner. Hungry Bear is a business member of our association and is located on Route 66. Don t miss stopping there when in Needles for some of Bill s superb baked treets, as a finishing touch to The Bear s great meals. Congrats to Shawn Abell for the May cover of Roadsigns. It has been there forever, and should be preserved.
