My Birth Announcement...St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Well, no sooner had I arrived and the papers were already writing about me. It's like they say..."A big part of life is just showing up."

You may notice that the address given on the announcement is 7019 Hunter Ave. This house was located in Normandy, Mo., a township of St. Louis. (remember to click on the photo to enlarge it.)

Also, Hopper Fur Co. has an ad on the left side. Within a year my family would move to 7525 Byron Place in Clayton across the street from where the Hopper family lived. Jack & JoAnn would meet Miles Hopper who was close in age to them.
