All,
I have just been informed that Dave Darby, former director of the US route 6 Tourist Association and an integral part of starting this website and the signing and preserving the history of Highway 6 in Iowa, has been diagnosed with Head and Neck Cancer. I have been in contact with him, and he is doing well and currently undergoing treatment in Iowa. He moved to the Carolinas in 2018 with his family, so as you can imagine the cost of travel and medical expenses can and are very taxing and stressful. A Friend of Dave’s has started a GoFundMe to help offset some of the costs and we a sharing that here. Dave is a wonderful guy and the amount of history and knowledge he has about Highway 6 is almost encyclopedic. We at the Historic US 6 Iowa Association wish Dave and his Family the best. Cancer Sucks.
