Liz and I were very sad to hear about the death of Lenore Weiss, one of Route 66's biggest advocates along with her husband John. We knew that she had cancer for quite awhile, but she never made an issue of it and continued on doing her works the whole time.
We have met and talked to her on numerous occasions and hold ourselves among the lucky ones to have had the opportunity to meet her.
You'll never find a more pleasant and approachable person to talk to.
Her death, coming so close to that of Bob Waldmire (and there is a great picture of the two of them taken from a few months ago, greatly decimates that special group of 66ers so responsible for the old highway's resurgence.
We'll Miss You, Lenore. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
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.
