Book Descriptions:
In the 1940’s, kids like me were mesmerized by the beguiling objects found at Rimmy Jim’s in Two Guns and at the El Tovar at the Grand Canyon. Sugared oranges in miniature crates, colorful sweets in little glass cars fascinated us and were cherished treasures. The old trading posts, like the venerable Wolf’s on the Little Colorado, tempted their enchanted 1800’s travelers with champagne imported from Europe and other unimaginable wonders. Further down the river, Cameron’s proudly offered Indian blankets, furs and silver – earthy mementos snapped up by 1900’s tourists under the spell of the Southwest. Many writers attempted to capture the quintessence of the West. Of an evening, I’d read Zane Grey’s captivating stories, tales that breathed life into my Tucker Flat Gang haunts — the high desert mesas and Camp Geronimo Scout Camp along the Mogollon Rim. Grey infused excitement into our favorite stomping grounds, and we joyfully interpreted what Grey created so beautifully in his books. At an early age, the caverns of the Alvarado in Albuquerque and the halls of La Posada in Winslow were special to me. I have identified many of those old Opera Houses from Flagstaff, Salida, and Gallup where my Grandmother and sister sang, danced and told tales. Of a day on the old state at the Tabor in Leadville I swore I heard Monon Erin in the winds singing through the rafters. The allure of Route 66 is due in part to the inevitable infusion of detail and drama into the vast array of its diverse icons. The contents of this book provide intriquing information about those icons and will deepen understanding for anyone seeking heretofore hidden dimensions of the Road. May those near and far discover newfound joy ~ and ‘get their kicks’ ~ reading about that great old Route 66. Do moments in time live forever? Quantum theory of modern physics says yes they do. Therefore, those precious moments of life on Route 66 days must be secreted somewhere deep inside the psyches of both townies and sojourners of old Route 66. Can those moments be recaptured and brought alive again? Christopher Reeves did so in “Somewhere in Time”? As the movie implied, could autosuggestion and self-hypnotism provide access to those long gone feelings, scents, images and sounds that made Route 66 a carnivalesque adventure—filled with constant thrills and excited expectations about the next thing down the road? The GOOD OLD DAYS is a serious effort to recreate certain moments in time—the one in a lifetime events, the unforgettable characters, and the exquisite places. At that famous corner in Winslow, Arizona an overwhelming and breathless thrill wells up in one’s chest each September as refrains from “Take it Easy” boom into the night air— It especially endearing to be standing on the spot where one jerked chocolate sodas and a father filled prescriptions. The Corner in Winslow was a vortex of Route 66 culture and stands as a Rubicon for Rusty’s passageway into adolescence –his romances, rites of passage, a work ethic and lasting identity. Like many small communities of the West, Winslow provided a crucible of democracy in the formation of character, commitment and compassion. Winslow High School was highly esteemed by the University of Arizona. It produced a US Attorney General, an Air Force General, a Kennedy Space Center Director, a Federal Judge, an All-American Football Player, a US Hall of Fame Football Coach, world renowned celebrities and Congressional Medal of Honor Recipient, Jay R. Vargas. Those old haunts, now dark buildings, lonely deserts, secret canyons and the mysterious buttes and mountains of the good old days cry out for the their warm spirits to be rekindled once again and become alive another time in our minds. There is a passion and a quest for recapturing the good old days on the part of those who lived there and those who journey the Road for the first time.
