After staying at the Inn this past weekend, we learned of the sale of the Inn and the passing of Karl. We thought of him the entire time we were in town, telling fun stories of how he made such a nice impression on us each time we came to visit and telling us his music related stories about Woodstock, Iggy Pop and David Bowie. I'm am not surprised to learn Karl was a teacher as I clicked with him upon meeting him, noticing how informative he was showing us around. I certainly am happy that Jeff and Karl made it to WV to make some more magic for others to enjoy. He was in our thoughts and will be when we get a chance to stay at the Inn on Mexican War Street. Thanks for all of the cookies!!

Jeffrey, that last Continent Karl visited was extra special because it was a trip that we were all able to enjoy together with lots of laughter. Those and many other memories are what we will cherish for all the years to come.
Rest in peace Karl. You truly were the Bionic Man in your own right!

So sorry to read that Kully has passed. I have not seen him for many years, but have fond memories when we were growing up. He spent many hours at my grandmother´s house when we were kids and he, Joyce Ann and I always played and grandma would make us sandwiches on her homemade buns. He had such a wonderful life.
Our deepest sympathy to Jeff and the family.
Love, Linda (Phillip) and Les Lunt
