The other part of the group awaiting the start of the show:  Debbie Randle '77, Mari Vickers, Bob Vickers '77, and Dennis Randle. 

Debbie Randle '77 sitting in the very small, very claustrophobic capsule that takes us to the top of the Arch.  It seats five people....as long as you don't mind elbows and knees all over you! 

This is a model of the Arch depicting its last stages of asssembly.

Debbie Randle '77 at the top of the Arch.  Don't mistake that smile for one of happiness....Debbie was not too happy about being that high up!  I whined and complained about my fear of heights all the way to the Arch, but once up there I was fine.  Then Deb decided she didn't like the height!

It was an overcast day, but the view of downtown St. Louis is still pretty clear.  In the background is the TWA dome, where
the soon-to-be "Superbowl champions" Rams were to play the next day.

Another picture from the top of the Arch...this time a view of Busch Stadium.
