JANUARY 12
Charlie Nixon, native of Glenrio, dies at 89.
Glenrio is a ghost town on Route 66, straddling the Texas-New Mexico border.
Mr. Nixon was born April 13, 1932, in Glenrio. He grew up in Endee, San Jon, Porter and Tucumcari, New Mexico.
The second son of James "Ivan: Nixon and Rosa Lea Hackett Nixon who worked long hours in cafes, gas stations, bars and dance halls that they managed and owned.
Charlie was quite a character himself with too much to write about, so read the obituary and watch the video at Route 66 News for this date. Also, read his obituary at Legacy.
Just one of the people who make Route 66 such a fun place.
