From Jim Bashkin: On September 7, our section held its annual picnic at Shaw Park in Clayton. Twenty people attended, including 15 section members. After a long, hot summer, the weather was perfect. It was wonderful to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. We’re already looking forward to next year.
The mumbleteenth annual St Louis ACS Section picnic is coming on Sunday, September 7th (the weekend after Labor Day). This is a little later in the season than usual, which is probably a good move toward slightly cooler temps.

A small but appreciative group of about 20 chemists, chemist-adjacents, and chemist-progeny convened at Creve Coeur Lake Park under the welcome shade of the Taco Bell pavilion. It was reassuring to find that people
