St Louis 3rd Day

We drove to see the Ted Jones' Farm in Williamsburg, MO, about 2 hours away. Ted was the founder's son of Edward Jones Investments. He was the first managing partner. His widow Patsy still lives there and helps run a new Conservation Area for the state. (Prairie Fork)  Norm enjoyed meeting and talking with her. She is 89 and very spry. We had lunch and a Q&A led by Jack Cahill, another retired partner and a tour of the farm and bunkhouse.
Norm talks with Pat Jones

 At night we were invited to another retired partners house for drinks and dinner. His 1920's house used to be a Hunting Club. It overlooked the Missouri River. What a view! Delicious gourmet dinner.
