Beyond the Call of Duty
Found this on my way into Schnuck’s for some groceries after class one night. It seems Danny was helping put on a dance recital.
St. Louis Browns’ Boys Brigade
A couple years ago, while painting the inside of a closet in her home, my mom’s brush ran into something stuck between the slats in the closet wall… she pulled out a child’s wallet from the 1940′s belonging to a boy named Ken Bock or Ken Bouk. I did some digging early on to try … Continued
