| Owney was a stray dog that some postal workers found by the railroad
yards. He became a mascot and received many medals for riding with
the post office delivering mail. When he got old he became too
cranky and they retired him. After Owney died he was stuffed and
has been exhibited ever since. The original is in the Smithsonian
Museum!

The Pattonville School District had a field day for some students and they all dressed up in period costume of The 1904 Worlds Fair of St. Louis, MO. There were some really great costumes so I asked the teacher if I could take some pictures and show them on my web site. Hope everyone gets a chance to see them, they all looked great! Thanks to everyone!
Goodbye from "Owney" and me
