During our dinner last night here in Salt Lake City, we saw Utah Senator Bob Bennett, receive a special citation for the work his father did years ago in the senate in helping create the interstate system. Here’s current Sen. Bob Bennett with the plaque.

Sen. Bennett then proceeded to provide some interesting anecdotes on the highway system. I recorded one of them for you here as he explains a family trip prior to having an Interstate 80 to travel on.
