They have not played in St. Louis in my time(starting with the 1962-63 season). The Billikins did make a trip to NYC to play the Ram in MSG in the 1969-70 season (soon after the Army stationed me out here). I got to listen to that game on the radio. And I remember that scheduling of a New Year's Eve game at SWMo State - I would like to have gone, but was leery of a 240 mile trip down I-44 with the possibility of drunken drivers on the road. I finally got to see them in person when the new regime played in Memphis. I am looking forward to seeing them again when they play in STL. -- Fordham Rams Basketball Message Board

Were you stationed at the Army's Fort Lost In the Woods? I mean Fort Leonard Wood? (NT) -- The Fish, Mon April 04, 2005 18:55:58
- No - I was assigned to the U.S Army Administration Center (USAAC) which is in the St. Louis suburb of Overland. There were no barracks, so in addition to my measley $90 per month pay as an E-1, they gave me $60/month for housing and $2.57 a day for food. I had no complaints - living a quasi-civilian life in St. Louis in the midst of the Vietnam War was fine with me. (NT) -- STL_RAM66, Tue April 05, 2005 14:12:51
