DennyG Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 I learned of this through the Route 66 Yahoo Group. I'm sure some forum members knew Carl, a Route 66 scout, historian, and general god guy. Carl L. Johnson HILLSIDE - Carl L. Johnson, 57, of Hillside, passed away at 3:16 a.m. on Wednesday, December 05, 2012 at Memorial Medical Center. Arrangements are pending with Kirlin-Egan & Butler Funeral Home, 900 S. 6th St., Springfield.

roadmaven Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 I recall a few of us...I believe you were one Denny...hanging out on the patio of a bar in Springfield, IL during one of the international festivals. That was the first time I met Carl and like everyone else has said on the Route 66 Yahoo Group, he was a good guy and one of the many roadies I've met over the years who had road stories to tell. He was a tireless researcher when it came to Route 66, especially in Illinois. Sad day for 66 indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennyG Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 That was at the Alamo in 2007. I actually didn't remember the year but found this: http://www.dennygibs...ay02/pic06a.jpg Carl's on the right. I had met Carl at least once or twice before that and probably just once or twice since. I didn't know him well but knew him as someone who really liked to dig into the old alignments.
