Glenda Pike died at the age 77.
She and her husband, Tommy Pike, who was president of the Route 66 Association of Missouri for many years, did a whole lot to get the resurgence of the Mother Road going and to keep it going.
They are life-long residents of Springfield, Missouri.
One of those special people which make this road so great.

Missouri Route 66 president Rich Dinkela "Roamin' Rich" confronts MoDOT over his Gasconade River Bridge proposal.
MARCH 12
"Roamin' Rich" Dinkela has the Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri, under contract. He made an offer, but does not plan to go into the motel business himself.
He will make improvements including a new roof and wants somebody else to operate it.
That would be a welcome addition to the classic motels in Missouri, including the Wagon Wheel, Munger-Moss, Rail Haven and Boots Court.
Busy Lad, That Rich. --RoadDog
