Jim Rettig Cincinnati ************** These books are on the shelf at the St. Louis County (Mo.) library on Lindberg. This library should not be confused with the St. Louis Public Library in the city on Olive. If you e-mail the library the librarian may be able to pull the information for you. I live in Kansas but will be in the library this summer and would be glad to xerox any pages for you and look for any names.
