"I'm amazed at other ways the signs are being remembered. One sign I did on a barn on Route 20 near Clyde, Ohio, was removed and transported to New York City, where it became part of the decor in the "Sign of the Dove" restaurant in Manhattan. Some artists have photographed or painted pictures of the sign. Dr. James Toland of Cambridge, in 1976, showed a whole collection of such painting at the Salt Fork Arts and Crafts Festival in Cambridge. "The Television people had been after us, too. Back in 1974, Charles Kuralt of CBS, interviewed Harley Warrick for His "On the Road" series. So did WOUB of Athens. And in 1976, the public television station WBGU at Bowling Green photographed me painting Harold Cunningham's barn near Salt Fork State Park. I made it as "old-timey" as possible... We even had a 1929 truck." Maurice "Zim" Zimmerman, now 78, (in 1984) still lives in Cambridge, Ohio, with his wife Lola. They have been married 58 years and they are enjoying their retirement. He is a joy to talk with and he enjoys reminiscing about those days on the road "barnstorming." (Editor's note: Maurice Zimmerman passed away in 1993)
