Angel Delgadillo in his Seligman Arizona barber shop

Angel Delgadillo is a businessowner in Seligman, Arizona who has been dubbed the 'guardian angel' of U.S. Route 66. He is a founder of the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona, established in 1987 to campaign for "Historic Route 66" signage on the former US highway; similar initiatives have since been established in every U.S. Route 66 state.

WE MET MR. ANGEL DELGARDILLO' his wife and daughter on one of our many visits to Seligman. Mr. Angel and I sat on the bench in front of his shop. He spoke of his broken heart seeing His town changing. I said to him, I have a poster in my home of Seligman Main Street. For a long time had no idea where the Life photo was from. When Mr. DELGARDILLO told me the Gentleman in the photo was is his brother, I felt the love this fine man had for His town and family. I asked him, where is the small brick pier In the photo? So, he walked me over to the pier. The pier was the second thing in the photo that I had to see. Well Mr. DELGARDILLO offered me a brick from the pier, , I said to him, I couldn't. I just couldn't. You know I wanted too, but felt another part of his town and history would be leaving his beloved Home. The next time I saw Mr. Delgardillo. Was in The "CARS". Felt like I saw Santa Claus. Well Let me say, in my life, Mr. DELGARDILLO & Family will never be forgotten. My rout 66 belt buckle my wife bought at Their Gift Shop is, my connection to the Fine Man with a Love we all should have for our Country. Mr. Angel Delgardillo will never be forgotten. GOD, must be happy to have this Special Angel.

A very good portrait of a man in his "environment".
