    2. This is insane -- - John Haliday was a drunken guy that was the custodian at Forthlin Avenue. He thought he looked like a McCartney.

  3. Dear Sara,
    I was 8 years old when I saw the Beatles at Busch Stadium. I am now 58. I just spent over an hour writing you an email and you had it posted someplace as "beatlesbusch@gmail.com" --and it bounced back. Ugg. I can't write it again --but if you still need to talk to more people please feel free to contact me at the following email.. drwendy.eisenberg7@gmail.com__. I promise mine will work. I have lots of memories and up close pics from my cousins who got a press pass. I remember the rain -cats and dogs...soaking rain. And a bunch more. I just can't spend another hour right now. I put my all into it. Included a lot of STL gossip in case you were from STL and I see now that you are from Alton-I grew up in Ladue. Good luck to you. You should fix that email address, Regards,
    Wendy Spector Eisenberg, Ph.D.

    1. No -- they are all sold out. I have thought about reprinting it, but I am just not sure if it would be worth it.
