As it happens I just visited St. Louis for the first time a few weeks ago as I
drove to Minnesota for a vacation. I made a special effort to stop there and see
the art museum primarily to see some of their Max Beckmans. As it turned out, I
also saw an excellent presentation of German artists including contemporary
ones, for which I developed a new appreciation. I also saw a little bit of their
zoo, located across the park a short ways from the museum. I would have liked to
had more time to see and go up the arch; my traveling companion tried but,
although he went to the arch about 10 am he could not get on a tour up in it
until noon due to space limitations so that was disappointing since we had to
hit the road again then. I also would have liked to seen Louis Sullivan's
building and their libraries, but as I say due to time limits, had to pass
things up for the next trip.

I enjoyed the brief time I had there and would be happy for the opportunity to
visit again (and I could drive there! <grin>). PH
