As we were driving to the Will Rogers Museum, we passed through the city of Claremore which is Northeast of Tulsa.
Here are some Route 66 items posted on the Route.
Vinita, OK. Sewell devised a design, including Markham’s family as inspiration. Sewell sketched Markham’s teenage son, Cale, on the front of Animal Health Supply, applying 3D painting techniques to this segment of the mural. Here, visitors will see Cale on horseback, trying to rope in a steer, which appears to be breaking out of the building
On Apollo 14 he spent 33 hours in solo orbit around the Moon, conducting an extensive series of experiments. On the Apollo 14 mission Roosa carried seeds from loblolly pine, sycamore, sweet gum, redwood, and Douglas fir trees as part of a joint U.S. Forest Service/NASA project. The seeds were germinated on his return and planted throughout the United States, becoming known as the “Moon Trees”.
Following Apollo 15, Roosa served as backup Command Module Pilot for Apollo 16 and Apollo 17, and based on crew rotations, would probably have commanded one of the last Apollo missions had they not been cancelled. He was assigned to the Space Shuttle program until his retirement as a colonel from the Air Force in 1976.
