I was a skinny little 7-year-old when Tod Stiles and Buz Martin arrived on the black & white television screen in a new series called Route 66. Every week for the next four years, I sat cross-leg in the living room floor watching the adventures of two young men as they traveled across America in a red Corvette convertible. That was the beginning of my fascination with the 2,447 mile road called Route 66.
