Well, I'm married to jm220 :) and we have 3 crazy and beautiful kids. Oldest is 3 and the two youngest are 2, so we stay pretty busy. I'm a web designer in St. Louis, but grew up in rural Alabama, which is where i truly consider home. I love the outdoors and was raised a tom boy (to my mother's dismay), doing pretty much whatever my brothers did. Hope to start turkey hunting soon and then maybe next year i will be a good enough shot to bow hunt.
I had a great time there back in the 70's-80's. Laclede's landing had just gotten started, they had not even begun to renovate the old train station yet. Went to ball games, wine country @ Herman, the Ozarks. Great people. A lot different than where I live now. You'll enjoy it.
Best of luck with that endeavor. I wish you the very best...stay focused and practice a lot!
Cheers
Will
