Dave:

Maybe it'll help that the Saint Louis Club here in TV had a hugely successful Christmas Season get-together at the Chatham Rec Center last Wednesay night (the 7th). It was just one of many throughout the year.

Members are almost always long-time St. Louisans, and are very happy to tell where they went to high school!

Even "non-natives" are accepted! I mean, I was born at St. Luke's Hospital on Delmar Blvd eons ago, but grew up in the Boston area. At my first meeting, I apologized that I had graduated from a private boarding school in Connecticut, but that my mother-in-law, my late wife and my two daughters had all graduated from Mary Institute; I was immediately accepted into the Club!

When in St. Louis, I worked for many years for D'Arcy Advertising, thus being intimately familiar with our friends on Pestalozzi Street!

Welcome not only to Talk of The Villages, but to The Villages! Be sure that we'll all try our damndest to make your transition to The Villages Lifestyle as easy as possible!!!!!
