I would like to recommend to all Times readers the very fine exhibit that just opened at the History Museum. Entitled “The Gilded Age,” it deals with the period of time just before the World’s Fair.

However, it is not a glorification of that epoch. Rather, it is a true portrait showing the good and the not good, the beautiful and the brutal.

It is an excellent exhibit for all ages because it gives a real understanding of life for people of various classes and both races.

There is an extra treat: on weekends for a few months there will be actors playing streetcar workers.

These gentlemen provide the most direct portrait for young and old.

The exhibits at our cultural institutions are another nice thing about St. Louis. Yet another is how lovely our neighborhood looks as the leaves turn. By the way, I have received the name of one prospective Times volunteer this week.

I hope a few more emerge to help us.

We really need someone to write Vicissitudes.

If you want to please let me know.

In the meanwhile, thanks to everyone for their support and special thanks to Marj, Venita, King, JoAnn, Katie, and Tom who make this happen on a regular basis.
