Congrats to Coach Albrecht for a great career. While he didn't have great success as a head coach at…Read More his alma mater St. Louis University, he made the most of his talent and knowlege at Meramec with a record nearly impossible to top.

After the recent attack on a female at Meramec and how the school police and administration handled…Read More this, I don't trust STLCC for safety at all.

Wow. Stephanie, I wonder if you ever had breast cancer or know someone who has. HER MOTHER DIED…Read More FROM IT. She had an 87% chance of getting the same cancer. I have never been her biggest fan, but I applaud her decision to do this for herself and her family. I don't know any woman who would go through a mastecomy (BTW I have had one) to be an attention whore. No attention or glory is worth the surgery, the drains, the pain, and the reconstruction process that she faces.

I absolutely disagree, Stephanie. As an A list celebrity, she has a platform that orgs like Komen…Read More could only dream of having/buying. If this means more women are informed about breast cancer risks, options, prevention, than I applaud her for being a "whore". Obviously Angelina has access to healthcare options that none of the rest of us do, but perhaps she can shine a light on that as well. She's made her fortune on being beautiful and perfect, and she chose to put life ahead of that. She didn't get bangs or wear a bad outfit, SHE HAD HER BREASTS AND OVARIES REMOVED.

I love that we are all talking about breast cancer, due to Angelina Jolie! The more educated and…Read More informed we become, the better choices we can make for our future. Barb, your words are so true, a bilateral mastectomy is a major surgery with many risks. I hope you are doing well after yours. Visit my website www.breastcancerwarrior.org for support from other breast cancer warriors.
CSloan, you are correct in that Angelina has a unique platform to get the word out and that Angelina's surgeries were not a fashion statement.
Stephhanie R, I appreciate your opinion as we are all entitled to have our own. Please bear in mind that one in four women will develop breast cancer so any and all attention drawn to this disease is welcome. It's time for a cure!

I love spending time in Forest Park. My boyfriend and I spent a lot of time there when we first…Read More started dating. There was always something to do, and it was FREE!

Sledding on Art Hill, and "Suicide Hill", with the great big tree at the bottom. People…Read More who took the East side of the hill and hit the whoopydedoo, flew threw the air and broke their sled, so there was always a bonfire at the top of the hill, full of burnt sled frames. Best bonfire in town !
