October 29: On this important date in history

October 29, 1959 dedication.

My first ride on this roadway occurred in December 1971, hitchhiking from Minneapolis to Buffalo, the last leg of a "well-thumbed" trip originating in Laguna Beach, California. (Click on link to see where I worked from August through November. It's where I learned to make spinach lasagna, eggplant parmesan, and stuffed acorn squash -- among other vegetarian items.)
