And because Trimble grew up in Ash Fork, who better to tell the town’s story?

There are a lot of interesting stories that entertain and educate us about the history of Route 66. We need to document as many of these stories as possible.
I’m looking for information about my grand mother Ida Sengaris. She had a resturant in ash fork in the 1940s or 50s. I would appreciate help finding more about its location and any other facts. I know the resturants name was either Idas Cafe or Cafe 66. Thanks. Susan Gale/Cartney
