With all the intelligence and creative abilities that I personally know are out there in our ten St. Louis retiree groups, I truly wonder why the web site hasn’t been flooded with articles written by many of you. Perhaps it’s because we have, of necessity, recently concentrated on the Solutia Class Action Law Suit on Retiree Medical Benefits and related matters. Let’s open our vistas.

Ladies and gentlemen, pick a subject -- any subject -- and let the juices flow. For example, you can write about:

• The major achievements you participated in and/or the fine people that you worked with in the "Good Old Monsanto Days" -- the days that made your career and professional lives worthwhile and rewarding;

• The new professional adventures that some of you have embarked upon since retiring from Monsanto/Solutia;

• The good times you and your spouse are having in retirement and some of the highlights you would like to share;

• Travel recommendations you would like to make on places to go and things to see or do;

• Investment concepts and firms/managers that you have found to be successful;

• The difficult times that some of us or our friends are having with illnesses; and finally

• Anything and everything that has convinced you or your Monsanto/Solutia friends that "It's great to be alive!" Let's not forget to live today, lest we then regret what tomorrow may bring. Share the memories! Share the good times and the not so good times -- because that’s what life is all about at this stage of our lives.

Let's hear from you!
