I've been there as well on business a few times and was there when a World Series was playing on the restaurant/bar TV (don't recall the year or the teams other than it wasn't St. Louis). I just don't recall why my father was a Musial fan - not a Cardinals fan - as I think possibly the only time he may have set foot in the state, much less the city, was in WWII on a train from the east coast to the west coast for training in the Army. In those days, it wasn't like Musial was on television back in NY. (Who else had one of those huge console TVs with something like a 3" diagonal black and white screen?).Dad was a Giants fan and perhaps he saw "The Man" at a game in the Polo grounds.

I lived in Saint Louis for several years and returned often thereafter. To say that Stan was a beloved legend in ST L is a gross understatement. My father worked with Stan’s granddaughter and got me a signed baseball card. Still one of my prized sports collectibles behind my Cousy bobblehead.

My dad, a proud Brooklynite , loved the Dodgers, but maintained a sincere admiration for Stan the Man as one of the notorious Dodger killers, though the Dodgers of the late 40s-mid 50s usually prevailed

His grandson Jeff worked with me at Brown-Forman and was a member of my parish, supplying some autographed swag from Granddad for the annual Monte Carlo silent auction..

You must have said "We're not in Maine anymore Toto" a few times while your blood was thinning. Saint Louis has the worst weather in the country with Southern Summers and Northern Winters. We had seats a few rows behind the Cardinals dugout and some days it was so brutal in the sun that we'd have to go up to the concourse to stand in the shade. Still it's one of the country's greatest cities-a great place to live.

A least one endowed academic chair in human biology and another in classics would be a start in honoring Dr. Fauci. The Tenure Professors who receive the position should be renowned and emerging internationally recognized as experts in their field before their appointment to their respective positions. Another possibility is is an Endowed Academic Colloquiums similar to Hanify-Howland that will bring leading international experts to campus to present symposiums with students, faculty and possibly alumni. The colloquiums would hopefully have a keynote presentation by a prior years awardee of the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. The Colloquiums would be named after Dr. Joseph Murray (Nobel Prize in 1990) and Dr. Fauci. The Murray-Fauci International Colloquium in Medicine and Human Biology.
Now to find the funding.....

The college missed the boat by not merchandising this home assistant, at a big markup. Think of the income if 10 million were sold at a profit of $25 each!

I think that you are on to something here, but I don't think the proposals are big and bold enough! My two cents for what to do: 1.) Build on Dr Fauci's national fame as a trustworthy, brilliant and accomplished physician by endowing the Fauci Pre-Medical Scholars Program" 2.) Emphasize the historical and well known success of Holy Cross in sending exceptionally well qualified applicants to the nations finest medical schools who have gone on to great achievements. 3.) Award scholarships to identified, accepted students of financial need who indicate their desire to pursue studies to qualify for admission to medical school. 4.) Pursue support from our vast medical alumni network. I would be on board in a heart beat. 5.) "Think big"! Identify large capacity donors who want to honor Dr Fauci for his lifetime of dedication and achievement, that has culminated with his service in this current crisis. This should be a very large list, and include corporations and donors who have no prior history of gifts to Holy Cross. The pitch is to help identify and educate the next generation of dedicated scientist leaders in the mold of Dr Fauci, and extend opportunity to those who are not financially able, especially those who come from communities that were especially hard hit by COVID-19. #GoCrossGo

Maintaining a longstanding tradition of cruelty to dead horses. . .
The title of the article in the alumni magazine is "COVID Crusader". I thought it was clever as well as accurate.

Watched the good doctor who admitted he feels "liberated" to speak science and facts without looking over his shoulder. The quote is exact, the phrasing is my take. Definitely appeared more relaxed.

He’s a scientist and the press was giving political questions asking him to compare administrations - guess they didn’t have enough questions about fighting the pandemic - of course they got the tidbits that they use tonight as ‘hard news’ on their cable channels
