I attended Roe School starting in 1927. Just looked on Google at our old home and neighborhood and was stunned to see how nice the entire area remains after about 75 years. I am now 88. I worked at Scullin Steel from 1941 until 1943 when finally got an exemption to join the Navy. I had a critical industry job exemption as crane and Charger machine operator making parts for Tanks . I had to fight the draft board to get to enlist.All young men wanted to fight in WWII.Finally said let me quit and serve or I will quit and be drafted so the finally after 3 appeals. I attended Normandy High and then Washington Univ. later<br />Don S.

I'm a South Side native (lived near Wyoming and Grand in my childhood) who's been away for 30+ years, but my family and roots are still strong in St. Louis. Your blog lets me indulge in my love of St. Louis and its neighborhoods. You clearly have a passion for this city--keep up the good work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
