A conversation with Bob

We visited the Lincoln House this morning in Springfield. Saw this guy all dressed in
clothes of that time, not good in 93 degree heat and humidity. Thought I should go talk to him.

I talked to him, said his name was Bob, and he talks to visitors about the history, the 4 block site that is now operating as a living museum. We learnt more in 15 minutes from Bob than 45 minutes on the guided tour through Lincoln's House. He was also a full bottle on Route 66 and served on the local committee for some years. Bob comes from a small village about 25 miles from Springfield. Lovely man. Oh he was ok that I took his picture.
