Does anyone here remember a TV program called "On The Road" with Charles Keralt. For a number of years Keralt traveled all over the country in a camper showing what ever and interviewing who ever was of interest. For instance, he spoke to a 90 y.o. woman who had driven across the country in 1905 in a Maxwell; a doctor in a small mid-west town operating a store front clinic who charged his clients a minimal fee that was frequently paid with a dozen eggs or a chicken. I loved that program, which was pure Americana, and the book, based on the TV program, has many stories, sometimes offbeat and frequently heart warming. Each story is just a few pages - perfect for summer reading.
