When my Dad was a teenager, he worked at a filling station on Route 66. This was in the days that gas stations were called filling stations. The attendents wore uniforms including hats, pumped gas, checked the oil, and checked the air pressure in the tires all with a smile.
Route 66 was America's highway leading from Chicago to Los Angeles. People didn't often fly in the early 50s so it wasn't unusual to see famous folks on the road. Dad met Jackie Gleason and Jack Benny. How cool was that!
