Way back then! Do you recall where you lived at the time? I was out west before it became west county, in Ballwin Chesterfield area.

TC,
I lived in Ferguson, across Interstate 70 from the University of Missouri-St Louis, where the station was located. I was only at the station for about three years.

When I started out in my first year of aircraft maintenance.
Think this was before the CNE air show, 1989.

The picture of my drumming was when I lived in MO. It was taken at the Blessing of the bikes in the spring. The blessing was held in IL just across the border and we were the band for that year. Guessing the late 80's. So I too was in MO for a while. But probably not the same time as you two old guys. LOL

Ok... I'll get in on living in St. Louis.

The wife and I both went to college there.

Our first apartment after we were married was off of I-55 south a past the Budweiser plant at the Germania Ave. exit.

Anyone remember Imo's Pizza?

Pete <:-}

Well, thats a name that sound familure. Although I was doing a lot of drugs back then. I lived in St. Peters, St. Charles, and a few other little towns including Winfield where there wasnt even a signal light in town. Get a road soda at the bar on the way out the door.

Oh the memories.

I remember a long time ago when I was just 17 and joined the Marines. Here's a picture the day before I went to boot camp in May 1974.
