  1. Ron, I see Dave Clark’s name on the list. Is this from a past interview or are they setting up a new one?
    Reason I ask is a few of us have been trying to make contact with Dave with NO luck. Seems he has disappeared. A sad lost for the road as he offered great tours.
    If someone is able to make contact with him we would be happy to know about it.

  2. Jim, contact WRLR and we’ll share our contact info with you. We have been in contact with him via email and by phone during the planning of the Route 66 Radio Tour. We are now in Springfield just about to wrap it up today at the Route 66 motel and Cozy Dog Drive In.
