St. Louis, Missouri - USA
The image you clicked on is actually from Washington University in St Louis. One of the top ranked universities in the nation. My mom never attended Washington University. The funny thing about this is that when my mother applied for scholarships to come to the US, she was accepted at both Washington U and St. Louis U. Not knowing any better she went to St. Louis University (Respectable, but by no means ranked as high as Washington University). Only after she had been in the states awhile did she realize her "mistake." A funny story indeed.
Jennie attended St.Louis University from Sept 1964- June 1966 and graduated with a Master of Science in Chemistry. She helped pay for expenses by becoming a teaching assistant for organic and analytical chemistry.. Her arrival in the US was assisted by a family with the last name - Benson. Mom affectionately called the woman who helped her out both emotionally and financially - Mama B, short for Benson.

I have never been to St. Louis. Interestingly enough, I think my mother might have visited the University again only once after graduation - during a visit for Mama B's funeral.
