yeah... sorry, mis-read there.

First, I thought... maybe 50th at Riggs. Then, maybe it WAS the 50th GAME for Appy.

Dad said he thinks the 4-lane across Shortt Gap between Grundy & Richlands opened in the mid 50's. With the way the roads were back then, most ppl. didn'r move far off, and drving more than 60 miles woulda taken a while, so maybe HC's took a while to catch on.
