The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Lincoln Logs: Companion-- Convoy-- Franzwa

Lincoln Logs-- Some New News About an Old Highway, the Lincoln

1. COMPANION-- I see that Brian Butko's Lincoln Highway Companion is about ready to be released. This will be an excellent follow up to his "Greetings from the Lincoln Highway" book which came out a few years ago.


2. CONVOY-- The March 27th Rochelle (Il) News for the "Hub City" had an article about hosting the more than 80 antique military vehicles participating in next month's 90th anniversary of the first US Army Transcontinental Motor Convoy.

There will be food, live entertainment and even restored planes at the airport on Saturday, June 20th. Sunday, there will be a Fly-In Drive-In featuring a pancake breakfast.


3. FRANZWA-- Sorry to report that a man who was instrumental in forming the new Lincoln Highway Association in 1992, Gregory Matthew Franzwa, died March 29th. He also founded the Oregon and California Trails Associations and edited the Lincoln Highway Forum for many years. A great friend of the two lane roads.

Thanks, Mr. Franzwa. --RoadDog
