We were met at the Alton dock by my cousin, Tom Doherty, who arranged a wonderful day of fun in St. Louis for us. We toured the 1904 World’s Fair park which has an Art Institute, Zoo, bike and walking trails, lake, restaurants and we saw it all toolin’ around in Tom’s 1938 Willie Jeep. Tom and Bob are both pilots and Tom even arranged for us to fly over the confluence of the rivers with his friend, Mel in his Beechcraft Bonanza plane. What a thrill especially when we noticed how the river and our boats look so small from above.
