Back in Time

Rickie Longfellow is a Program Assistant in the Federal Highway Administration's Ohio Division Office. As a writer-editor for many years, she decided to combine her love of history with her interest in highways by writing a column, "Back in Time," for FHWA News. Ideas for the column come from her travels in the United States and around the world. You can contact Mrs. Longfellow at: Rickie.Longfellow@fhwa.dot.gov

The Highway History page is pleased to make the "Back in Time" columns available in one place.
