You are assured a conversation filled with a healthy dose of inspiration as well as exciting news about Route 66 and the Route 66 centennial, grants, community development, and the great American road trip when Rhys Martin stops by for a visit. Rhys is the president of the Oklahoma Route 66 Association, manager of the National Trust for Historic Preservation Preserve Route 66 Initiative that is offering grants to Route 66 business owners, an accomplished photographer and author, and the creator of the fascinating Rhys Pieces blog.
Next week on Coffee With Jim we visit with acclaimed documentary film producer John Paget. Paget is creating an official Route 66 centennial feature documentary that will chronicle the story of this iconic highway and the people that ensure it remains relevant and vibrant as a new century dawns.
