October Meeting - Two Meeting in October
Happy Birthday Dave
There is a change in our meeting program
for Saturday October 1st due to an unexpected scheduling conflict between
Harper Barnes and his publisher. The date and location remains the same.
We will be celebrating the birthday of
World’s Fair President, David Roland Francis, on Saturday October 1st at 1:00
pm. The location will be on the World’s Fair grounds at the south end of the
Brookings quadrangle on the campus of Washington University. We will gather in
room 100 at Busch Hall. Consult your World’s Fair Bulletin for a parking map.
Sharon Smith, Curator at the Missouri
History Museum, will present a program about the historic connection between
Washington University and our Fair. The presentation will take place in a
building leased to the Louisiana Purchase Exposition Company for use during the
Fair. It housed the Department of Works serving as the headquarters for architects
and engineers employed for the Fair.
President Francis, one of Washington
University’s most prominent graduates, was born on October 1st, 1850. Besides
serving as a Governor, Mayor, Ambassador,
and Secretary of the Interior, he was President of the 1904 World’s Fair and at
the same time was President of the first Olympics ever held in the Western
hemisphere.
Please join us for a piece of birthday
cake and sign an oversized birthday card as we celebrate the birthday of the
most prominent citizen of our city and state.
Ken Streett, Great Grandson of Rolla
Wells, Mayor of the city of St. Louis in 1904 will share
