Two of the major inflection points in my life, both happened in the greater St. Louis area.
I have written several times about the Space Shuttle flying through Scott AFB while we were stationed there in the early 1980s.
As a college student in the late 1990s, I was hired as a cooperative education student for a company in St. Louis. I lived in an apartment in Hazelwood, perhaps 5 miles away from Ferguson, MO. My roommate was a Mechanical Engineering student from Florida, studying at Tuskegee. Yes, she is black.
We moved in, in January, and she didn't have a winter coat. I taught her what I knew about getting through snow, ice, and winter. She taught me more.
