We started out the day with a wonderful breakfast at our lovely Westin hotel downtown. Shortly afterwards, Wayne and Carol arrived to take us on our memory tour of our St Louis past.
It was miserable and rainy, but we managed to see everything we'd planned!
First stop - St Louis University, where Hal received his PhD.
 |
| OK, get the idea of the weather? |
We drove to where we used to live on Caroline Street right next to the University. The University has gobbled up the block, so our home is gone. :o(
 |
| We had better luck when we drove North to 5011 Queen, where we lived when I was born. Our hosts were a little reluctant to journey into that neighborhood, which has changed a lot in the last 57 years, but we were all quite impressed with how lovely it remains. |
ON TO RICHMOND HEIGHTS!
 |
1710 DEL NORTE!!
This was the place I was most excited about! We lived in this home from 1959 to 1962.
|
 |
| This was the street that we used to chase the fogger trucks and play in the insecticide fog! Sheesh, it's a wonder I have a brain left..... :o) |
 |
| A new school in the old location. Used to be Richmond Heights Elementary. |
 |
| Richmond Heights Presbyterian - Our church and the heart of mom's social life while Dad was in the service.
Went to Wayne and Carol's for the afternoon. Nancy joined us and we enjoyed Skyping with Bob, Clay and Peter. We will go out to dinner and turn in early tonight.
Tomorrow we head for Tennessee!
:o)
