    Hi: I’m Sally Shattuck from Ashland, Kansas and I’ve been reading “Never Met a Man I Didn’t Like - The Life and Writings of Will Rogers:” by Joseph H. Carter. Route 66 is “The Will Rogers Highway”. It begins near his home in Santa Monica, California and ends in Chicago.
  • Humorist, actor, and social commentator Will Rogers was one of the most recognizable voices of early 20th-century America. A native of Oklahoma and a keen observer of American life, Rogers often traveled Route 66 as it emerged as a national artery.
  • Luke has a comical spring turkey hunting tale for us this week. He's got a saying, "Anything can and often does happen on a spring turkey hunt." Put yourself in Luke's boots on this hunt...how would you have found your way out of the predicament he and his buddy Bob Hood found themselves in?
  • Tune in to Classical Music Amarillo this week to hear the Amarillo Symphony perform Gustav Holst's most famous symphonic work!
