Drove into Round Lake and picked up Terri, a teacher I taught with for over twenty years, an we went to the IEA headquarters in Libertyville, where we caught a motor coach to Springfield, taking the Tri-State to I-355 to I-55 where we then paralled Route 66 to Springfield.
There were eleven teachers from Round Lake, including one from the high school and Ellis that I knew and another teacher from Magee Middle School where Terri still teaches and I taught for 31 years before we moved to another building.
We stopped at an excellent rest area south of Pontiac with views of a creek and picnic tables. I just might get off 66 someday and pack a picnic lunch to eat here. Definitely an enjoyable spot. I enjoyed looking at various signs for Route 66 along I-55 as I am usually doing the driving and we are running on 66 anyway.
We arrived at the state capitol building at 11 am after a four hour ride.

1955 Comment: I see that some married women have to work outside the home to make ends meet.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
