Flynn Parkers - Attention!

From Ilene Gallop

 TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE FLYNN PARK GRADUATES!!!!!!!!!!!

Along with our fun-filled U. City High School Reunion, Class of 1957, we are planning a FLYNN PARK REUNION on Saturday morning, September 2, 2017 from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. at our old school.  This WILL NOT conflict with any U. City Reunion plans.  We are going to have juice, coffee, doughnuts, etc. - not too much food since we don't want to talk with our mouths full - Mrs. Rossi wouldn't approve of that!

Please let us know if you are planning to attend our Flynn Park get-together, how many, your complete name, address, phone number and email address and send to:

Ilene Gallop Litvag, 655 Fairways Circle, Creve Coeur, MO  63141, 314-432-8378, writerlit@aol.com

Hope to  see you there!"

Gus Philpott's favorite "Mrs. Rossi" story? Remember our Flynn Park Reunion in 1999? I was living in Woodstock, Ill. and rode my motorcycle to U. City, arriving just before school let out. I knew to go straight to the Principal's Office. I entered, wearing my motorcycle jacket, jeans, boots and carrying my helmet.

Two women were in the office. When I didn't say anything right away, one asked, "Can we help you with something?"

I stammered and stuttered and then said, "Well, I was told to go to the Principal's Office, but I was afraid, so I ran away. That was in 1951. Mrs. Rossi isn't still waiting for me, is she?"

They laughed and said, "No, she isn't. You're safe."

Best ribs in St. Louis?

Image
Click to enlarge Where's the best place for barbecued ribs in St. Louis? You know, St. Louis-style babyback ribs. Slow-cooked. With the sauce cooked in over several hours, not just sloshed on top before they hit your plate. The best place used to be the Philpott back yard at 550 Warder Avenue, right across the street from Ann Billmyer's and two doors down from Dorothy Gershenson, and a few more doors and across the street from Linda Lochhead. Next was Mac's BBQ on the Rock Road. Anyone remember Mac's? But it's years later, and times and places have changed. Now I'm talkin' finger-lickin' ribs. The roll-up-your-sleeves-and-get-sauce-everywhere ribs. For my last birthday, I didn't want cake. I wanted Birthday Ribs! And I got them, too. Name your favorite BBQ joint in a comment below. Include the address or location. And your name, so you can be duly thanked!
