Wow. That is my Dad sitting at the bar to the left of Tammy Grimes! He had always told us he was on Route 66. But in Dec. of 63 I wasn’t even a month old yet so this is the first I am seeing it. Thanks!!!! What a great surprise.

Got a call from my sister… her coment posted above… pretty cool to see the clip of our dad, just like he said, sitting next to Tammy Grimes… thank you very much for sharing this!
A little story of my own regarding “Route 66″:
My Dad and I were used as extras in a scene shot in front of the city hall in Niagara Falls. I was five years old at the time. The scene was to be in an episode called “I’m Here to Kill a King”, to be aired in November of 1963. That episode was preempted by the assassination of President Kennedy and we never saw it. I’m not sure if it ever aired.
After years of waiting for the show to be released on DVD in its entirety, I finally found it and bought it, only to find that our 15 minutes of fame was left on the cutting room floor.
No regrets though, because I found the 5 plus minutes of the terminal footage (the best pre-damage film we’ve ever seen!) and I got to read those touching comments from the Lamberts.
Lamberts, my Dad passed away 28 years ago. I would have loved to see him in film in his youth, but I am so glad that you got to see your Dad!
