Since roving Route 66 artist Bob Waldmire is a Luddite in terms of the Internet and cell phones, it’s hard to figure out where he is at times. This often leads to “Where’s Waldmire?” questions when Mother Road fans talk among themselves.
Well, this weekend Waldmire is in Tucumcari, N.M., for the Route 66 festival there. The Quay County Sun spoke to him briefly.
The story didn’t mention it, but Waldmire is an unofficial inspiration to Fillmore in the “Cars” movie. More details about that are here.
