Building the Arch, 1965

This was taken in August of 1965; as you can see in the background the St. Louis Arch is being build. I got this picture from my great Aunt Regina's scrap book. She lived in East St. Louis; the girl in the picture is my mom. View full size.

The Arch

I saw them place the last keystone piece via helicopter. It was something to see. I worked in a dental lab in the 1st National Bank in East St. Louis and watched the whole spectacle!
