A return visit to a helpful gift shop owner in the Route 66 town of Vega, Texas while traveling in a 1959 Cadillac. In 1992, LINDA MOORE, who ran the shop directed my traveling companion and I eastward to Amarillo where we would find an abundance of the antiques that we were looking for. I was intrigued by the wonderful aroma within her store. She said it was the 'Peach Candy' potpourri that she had for sale of which I promptly purchased. The wonderful scent permeated the passenger cabin from under the seat of my old Cadillac for an entire year when on another Route 66 road trip from California, I made another visit to her shop. I was introduced to her friendly husband, GARY MOORE, who was also a postal worked just as I was. I thanked her for the antique shopping frenzy in Amarillo and for the wonderful potpourri for which I proceeded to buy some rejuvenating oil for it from her before I got back on the road.
Linda & Gary Moore are a perfect example of the caliber of people that are all along old Route 66. Friendly, helpful and a real joy to visit with. A memorable couple indeed.
