April 23 and 24 was Earth Day at Forest Park in St. Louis. AU was there with an informational booth manned by Board members and volunteers on both days. The first day was warm and windy and the second was still warmish but not especially dry. A good crowd of people and dogs were there, just like old times. Many old and new friends dropped by to talk about church/state issues and to pick up literature. Volunteer Dave Eschmann and Board members Carol Bartell  and and Hal Harris are in the picture.

Our dear friend and Board member, Ann Lemons Pollack, died April 13 as a result of complications from a fall in her Clayton home. She had been both a stalwart and an entertaining member of our Board for many years, and was a critic of theater and restaurants for several St. Louis publications, including the Post-Dispatch.  Joe Holleman had a nice article about her life, which is linked here.
