** Sentimental Journey **


This evening is the end of a very busy week. It was very rewarding speaking to grade school and high school students on three separate days. Then today, Ron and I attended the Homecoming Events at Parks College of Engineering, Aviation & Technology. (part of St. Louis University)

*Everyone should visit here. Wonderful wall of history timeline, sometimes guided tours given by Rob the Robot!
*A new wall just opened with names & photos of past and present faculty and staff. So proud to see my dad's photo in at least 2 different places. He would've been so pleased!

  1. I would love to sit in on one of your talks, right there in the back, smashed into a tiny little elementary school desk. I'd learn so much!

  2. That's very cool! My dad also worked at McDonnell Douglas for many years in the aerospace division. We have a few neat photos and memorabilia.

  5. Hi Becky,
    What a wonderful experience. Thanks for sharing with us all.
    When I clicked on your site the song "Sentimental Journey" was playing. How appropriate! Gave me chills!

I'm still getting quite a few spam comments that are Anonymous, so I'm trying "User with Google Accounts." If anyone tries to comment that I know, and it won't let you, send me an email, okay? Thanks so much.
