Staunton, IL -- Montana, queen of Henry's Ra66it Ranch in Staunton, Ill., passed away in June 2008. She had a good life here on Route 66. For over seven years she warmly greeted the locals as well as travelers from all over the world. She is probably best remembered for her autographs and amusing little tricks performed. Montana was Henry's little sidekick and partner, like The Lone Ranger and Tonto, only with Montana as the Lone Ranger and Henry as Tonto. She had become a Route 66 icon. On her passing, several cards, letters and pictures sent by Route 66ers were received at Henry's Ra66it Ranch. Henry plans to start a large scrapbook of these items and several others in memory of Montana. The last six months dealt Montana with chronic health issues, but she persisted in doing her duty. In that time period she had some notable accomplishments. This past March she came in #106 out of 30,000 pets in a photo/pet contest conducted by the Humane Society of the USA. That then excited her into throwing not only her hat but also herself in the ring to run for president of the United States. Her presidential campaign continues in honor of her memory and love for the road and its people. Born: February 23, 2001 Birthplace: McDonough County, Illinois At Henry's Ra66it Ranch since April 16th, 2001. Official Route 66 Greeter and Queen ever since. Presidential qualifications: Doesn't say much, is a good listener since she is all ears, will pick up the phone at 3am to quickly hang it back up, can't do worse than any present presidential candidate or past six or seven presidents. Seven years as Queen has taught her effective leadership, has no relatives to give jobs to, uninfluenced by lobbyists (the rumors of being influenced by the Carrot Growers Association have been proven largely unfounded), and the list goes on. Montana's 2008 election SPECIALS!!! While supplies last you can still order "Vote for Montana for President" memorabilia! Montana will always be an integral part of Henry's Rabbit Ranch. She will never be forgotten. In memory of Montana, you can order her Route 66 Campaign collectibles here! In June 2008 Montana passed the responsibilities of her presidential campaign to her running mate "Guy the Rabbit" who now carries on the high traditions she set. The new "Guy" has become the Official Route 66 Greeter and King of Henry's Ra66it Ranch. Montana was a very proud member of the Route 66 E-group and wore her membership badge proudly on the wall of her condo. Montana might be gone, but she will never be forgotten.
