FREE ZOOM TALK: BYGONE SPORTS TEAMS AND FORGOTTEN STADIUMS
Sports have strengthened and energized St. Louis. This talk will cover professional sports teams that used to call St. Louis home: major league, Negro league, minor league, alternative league. Some teams left St. Louis for other cities; most teams ended their career here. We will look back when St. Louis had both an American and a National League team, look back when the National Guard sponsored a St. Louis football team, look back at sports played in the second largest indoor venue in the United States. And we will find out where Yogi Berra took his future wife on their first date.
Doug Schneider will send an email with the Zoom link to every PTSL member.

Spring Weekend at Wilderness Lodge
Join your fellow PTSL members and their guests for a getaway to the country.
We’re again headed down to the Ozark Mountains near Lesterville, Missouri.
The fresh springtime air and the crystal-clear waters of the Black River flow right beside the property.
Besides dining with friends and spending evenings by the fireplace, enjoy other activities such as attending the free Arcadia Valley Mountain Music Festival on Saturday.
This is an easy drive destination (less than 2 hours from St. Louis).
The cost is reasonable with their all-inclusive pricing, which covers accommodations, breakfast, lunch, appetizers and dinner.
Arrive on Friday May 15th, check out either Sunday May 17th or Monday May 18th (Keith is checking out Sunday morning). Since the Arcadia Valley is that weekend (Friday and Saturday) the lodge can fill up pretty quickly. We usually have a lunch somewhere in Ironton before we check in at Wilderness Lodge.
Choose the nights that work for you and make reservations, as they have a very lenient cancellation policy.
Hint: If you book a Hilltop cabin, try to get an upper unit since walking to the downstairs unit can be challenging.
Wilderness Lodge details and reservations: https://enjoywilderness.com/
Contact Keith Raibley at keith.raibley@gmail.com to let him know you are coming so he can inform the dining staff and send you any additional updates.
