Dear TE,
My
name is Corkey Mayberry and my wife's name is Gerry Mayberry.
While traveling
from St. Louis to Amarillo
in 1955 we took the old highway Route
66.
We stopped at the border of Oklahoma and Texas
going west. This photo of me and my wife was taken by that great granite Texas
monument. It was 1955 and we were on our honeymoon - that's why the marker is
so special to me.
The monument was between the two divided lanes of Route
66. It appears as if there was a bullet chip between the E and X.
I've
been there five times since 1955 looking for it.
I sure would like to find
out where that marker is. We were there in Texola
on May 17th 2010 - still looking, but with no luck.
I'm 75 years old now
and I hope to find it before I croak. Ha Ha
If anyone has any information
on what happened to the marker, they can contact me at: corkeymayberry@yahoo.com
or they can write to Corkey Mayberry, 5727 Mayberry Lane, Park Hills, Missouri
63601.
Thanks to all.
I will never forget the wonderful memories
of Route 66.
- Corkey
