When I was taking pictures of the George Preston Station in Belle Plaine in late 2002, George’s son Ron happened to be there. I hadn’t expected that, but I explained that I was taking pictures of the station for a photo project about the Lincoln Highway. We talked for a while. He let me inside and showed me some of the accumulated memorabilia. Finally, he graciously allowed to let me take a couple pictures of him in front of his dad’s famous landmark.
Ron died last year. Last week, that memorabilia was sold off.
Other roadtrip gallery links are here (and sorely need to be added to).
