| THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES: A Tribute To St. Louis Yes, I remember you elegant lady with a past; Married to a French king you mever even met, abandoned then married forever to 'THE OLD MAN*' Yes, I remember, too exploring your many ways on veins of nickel streetcar rides; Woodson Road, the Wellston Loop, Downtown - and back again. Speak to me of beforetimes long ago when life with you was a new beginning! Do you remember - When Choteau's Pond was a real and Sacajawea** lived next door? When your All American boys all passed through Jefferson Barracks and some returned to sleep forever? When ten thousand sons asked you 'which way West?' and you let them all go? Yours was the place for the gathering of eagles Some only came to fish with The Old Man, and still do Other fledgling space eagles soon gathered and one by one stepped off and out into infinity Names forever emblazoned upon your eternal sky Glenn, Curtiss Orville Wright Lindy, Shepard, Glenn, Armstrong; All first tried out their equipment here. |
