Hi Bill, At what time period did you attend college in Cahokia? My mom made pizzas at the tavern down the road from there.

All I can remember is that my grandfather never understood why my dad moved way out there. Gosh it was a mile from Hampton & Gravois out there in the sticks. Dad eventually recovered his sanity and we moved back into the City where we could really mingle with the elite. We lived over a tavern on Broadway and Wisconsin. Grandpa didn't like that either, except when he wanted to buy a case of bear at cost, then dad was a good son. Actually the area was great, I delivered groceries in shanty town on Saturday (where the gas tank farm is today). Heck in 1951 I would deliver a $200 order every Saturday to a tar paper shack. Payday was $1 and hour, big bucks then. Living over the Tavern was a bit tough when study time came around. The juke box sort of interrupted. Had to move to the college campus in Cahokia, Ill. The nearest tavern was right next door at the end of the runway. We got our exercise by walking to it and climbing the fence. We were all athletes.
