The First Day….
Here's Joe Carroll's report on their travels through Missouri on the first day of the trip:
"Finished the first day through eastern Missouri, all on scenic back roads to St. Louis. This stop is an unincorporated town off Route 94 in Missouri, way off the beaten path. The trip took almost 10 hours from Kansas to Morton's Steak House in Clayton, Mo.
“Next Stop, Monday, Indianapolis…. MGB is running great for a car over 33 years old. Seeing the Midwest in a convertible British sports car is great. Looking forward to the next 1,100 miles over the next five days to Boston. More to come! Joe C."

Jim Lucy has been wandering through the electrical market for more than 30 years, most of the time as an editor for Electrical Wholesaling, Electrical Marketing newsletter and CEE News. During that time he and the editorial team for the publications have won numerous national awards for their coverage of the electrical business. He showed an early interest in electricity, when as a youth he had an idea for a hot dog cooker. Unfortunately, the first crude prototype malfunctioned and the arc nearly blew him out of his parents' basement. Before becoming an editor for Electrical Wholesaling magazine and Electrical Marketing, he earned a BA degree in journalism and a MA in communications from Glassboro State College, Glassboro, NJ., which is formerly best known as the site of the 1967 summit meeting between President Lyndon Johnson and Russian Premier Aleksei Nikolayevich Kosygin, and now best known as the New Jersey state college that changed its name in 1992 to Rowan University because of a generous $100 million donation by N.J. zillionaire industrialist Henry Rowan. Jim is a Brooklyn-born Jersey Guy happily transplanted in the fertile plains of Kansas for the past 20 years.
