Society member Dick Gaetano will talk about the 2,400 mile journey on a two lane
highway from Chicago to Los Angles and points west. It was the road of dreamers, ramblers and writers. It was a ribbon that carried Oakies, driven from their land, a highway of commerce in ice cream stands, "no-tell motels", neon signs and so much more. The program is open to the public.
