The White House's Web site now has photos and other material from the Preserve America Presidential Awards on Monday. Hampton Inns was one of the award winners for its work on Route 66 and other historical sites.
Here is the White House's story. Here is the Webcast of the event.
Here is a White House photo of Hampton Inns receiving its award. I couldn't find anything with Jim Conkle in it, regrettably.
President Bush and Laura Bush present the Preserve America award for private preservation to Judy Christa-Cathey, vice president-brand management, and Scott Douglas Schrank, vice president-brand performance and support, both of Hampton Inns' nationwide Save-A-Landmark program, in the Oval Office on Monday.
