From Glenda and Tommy Pike:
“As you all are very much aware, Missouri Route 66, The Route 66 Association of Missouri and all of us as individuals, lost a good friend with the death of Fran Eickhoff, August 7, 2008.
We are very pleased to tell you that Cuba (MO) Tourism is going to place a plaque in Fran’s honor. This plaque will be placed on the front of the Fanning 66 Outpost General Store (home of the World’s Largest Rocker), just a short distance on Route 66 west of Cuba, at 11:00 AM on Saturday, April 25. All of Fran’s friends are invited to attend! Just be there by 11:00 AM! Fanning 66 Outpost was chosen because the plaque will be placed in a secure location on the porch and out of the weather. And there is plenty of parking for those wanting to visit the plaque (and Rocker and Store) as they travel Missouri Historic Route 66.
Our thanks go to Dan & Carolyn Sanazaro, owners of Fanning 66 Outpost for providing the location. Thanks also to Norman DeLeo and Cuba Tourism for their thoughtfulness and work to provide this honor for Fran.
If there would be enough interest, we will find a location that we could have lunch after the presentation. If you can be there and would like to have a very informal group lunch, just send us a return email at furyon66@earthlink.net so we will have an idea of the number.
We do not have every members email in our address book, therefore, please tell anyone you might have contact with in the next week or so–or give them a call. Fran would be please to be honored in this way. We hope that you can join us!
Glenda and Tommy Pike”
