With a quote from Rogers:
"We are here just for a spell and then pass on ...so get a few laughs and do the best you can. Live your life so that whenever you lose, you are ahead."
"U.S. Route 66, also known as the Will Rogers Highway and colloquially known as the Main Street of America or the Mother Road, was one of the original highways within the U.S. Highway System. US 66 was established on November 11, 1926, with road signs erected the following year. The highway, which became one of the most famous roads in America, originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona before ending at Santa Monica, California, covering a total of 2,448 miles. It was recognized in popular culture by both the hit song Route 66" and the Route 66 television show in the 1960s." Text Source; (
