Hope your mom's doing well. Mine broke her hip last year, and the surgery didn't heal. She was in terrific pain for 3 or 4 months when they finally did the replacement. Seems her diabetes had rendered the femur unable to knit itself together. But the new hip is doing fine and she's playing golf again.

When you head back to Lambert, wave to Maryland Heights, my old stomping grounds for 11 years.

I can recall a few times over the years where the air traffic overhead was bothersome. While most of the lower level (ie, loud) traffic was in the area southwest of Hazelwood down to Earth City, every once in a while there would be some planes stacked up over Maryland Heights and Creve Coeur. I can recall standing on my deck thinking that I could probably get pretty dang close to those TWA L1011's with an Alpha on a C6-7

It wouldn't'a scared 'em away, but I'd'a felt better
