In which town did you start? Where were you born?

St. Luke's Hospital, St. Louis, March 1936. My late wife, all of her siblings, both my brothers and my two daughters were also born there. The building still operates as a medical facility, but only as a neighborhood clinic. There's a "new" St. Luke's "way out in the county" - been there better than 30 years, I guess.

We are from Weirton!! You are 10 yrs younger than we, but we might know some of the same people. Small world!! There are 4 other couples here from Weirton whom we know but they are also older than you. Isn't it nice to know there are so many wonderful people here in The Villages?!! Actually, my husband is from Weirton. We met in college and lived in Weirton for 45 yrs. Weirton Steel.

The delivery room was booked by the time we made our reservations so we ended up in one of the recovery rooms. We went up to delivery room floor and took pictures of the now boarded up window in which they used to pass newborn infants through.

Did you have a chance to dine at the Rendezvous Inn and restaurant a couple of doors down? We found them to have fantastic food with unbeatable prices and would probably stay there if we ever returned. They make freshly baked breads and breakfast is cooked to order every morning. http://www.rendezvousinn.com/
