Dawn Patterson of Towanda, Illinois, who turned her two-car garage next to her home into a Route 66 tourist destination called DK's Garage, died last week after a brief illness. She was 59. If Dawn's garage overhead door was open - you were welcome to stop and visit!! Her garage was a wonderful 66-inspired place where she displayed gifts she had received from friends and travelers, and also sold Route 66 trinkets and even had her own "DK's Garage" t-shirt! Dawn would sit at an old retro kitchen set as people wandered in and out, signed the guestbook, and posed with her shapely mannequin "greeter."
