I did have a nice birthday and I was lucky enough to be asked to go water skiing with my friend Jim Kiske. I’m sure glad he still giving me lessons. Looks like I’m still doing pretty good for an old man.
Also many thanks to my friends who are kind enough to wish me a happy birthday

Proposed Land Swap Would Trade portion Of Park For Land Along The River........
Florissant City officials are pursuing a potential deal to trade a portion of Koch Park for land adjacent to the Missouri River. The 43 wooded acres adjacent to the river would be used as park land.
The trade would allow a developer to use the former park land for a housing development, which city officials say is sorely lacking within the city of Florissant.
