Route 66 Museum director honored

Clinton’s Pat Smith was recently awarded a special citation from the Oklahoma Historical Society for her 20-year tenure as director of the Route 66 Museum.
Smith received the award during a ceremony commemorating the 90th anniversary of the famous highway, held Saturday at the museum. Even though she had organized the event herself, the honor took her by surprise.
“I had no idea,” she said. “They even kept it a secret from my husband.”
