Big J Restaurant, Bowman, ND. Here is where I explain my ZMM research and ask about the history of the Big J Restaurant. In response to my queries, and un-be-knownst to me, local resident Les Snavely was summoned. Mr Snavely (in photo /\ above /\), who is himself a ZMM enthusiast, said the “lone elderly person” in ZMM was likely Bowman resident, Mr. Claude White, who DID own a Henderson!
....Mr. Snavely should know! He is an Antique Motorcycle Enthusiast. He is known all over USA for his expert knowledge (and extensive collection) of old cycles.
…DATE-LINE: February 25, 2021. by Henry Gurr.
This Photo Caption for ~~17 years said Be sure to ask for Mr Snavely at The Big J !!
….However, this can no longer be. Big J Restaurant is under new management and has moved to another location.
…And sadly we must say => Mr Les R Snavely passed away Oct 15, 2020: His Obituary gives a full life sketch and a nice photo of him.
