Bobby Troup

Re “Bobby Troup, Writer of Classic Song ‘Route 66,’ Dies,” Feb. 9: When Bobby Troup was a lieutenant in the Marine Corps, I met him at Montford Point camp in Camp Lejeune, N.C., in 1944. He personalized “Daddy” for us and introduced us to “Snooty Little Cutie.” He played piano for many a songfest at the Officer’s Club. Bon voyage to a piano in the sky.
