I just received my copy of the Spring 2010 issue of Route 66 Magazine. I knew that Sandi and Paul Taylor intended to use my article as the “cover story,” but did not know they would actually put a photo of me and my better two-thirds on the front of the magazine!
The article is titled “Postcards from the Ledge,” and it discusses the Sears Willis Tower Skydeck in Chicago, and its newest feature: The Ledge. The Skydeck is the observatory on the 103rd floor of North America’s tallest building (located right on Route 66 between Jackson Boulevard and Adams Street). The Ledge is comprised of four cantilevered glass boxes that protrude 4.3 feet out from the west side of the building.

Eastbound Route 66–Jackson Boulevard–is 1,353 below and just to the left of my left foot in this picture. Westbound Route 66–Adams Street–is just in front of Carol’s shoes on the right.
