Sounds like they chose the perfect team. At work, whenever we entertained customers or employees from a different site, we always told them the historic district of St. Charles was a must to visit. It was always a hit. I'm sure your book will be a hit as well since it will allow a person to stroll the old brick sidewalks back in time and allow the town’s history to come alive.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963388515710083930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198335440945057072.post-58139699937386926972016-03-19T11:10:43.598-05:002016-03-19T11:10:43.598-05:00Hi Clara,
