Tributes are coming in to remember the late Billikens coach.
When Chaminade Boys Varsity Basketball Coach Kelvin Lee first learned of the opportunity to join Charlie Spoonhour's staff at St. Louis University in 1992, he was told he'd be crazy not to take it. "You’re going to learn basketball because he’s a genius, but he knows how to treat people," Lee said Wednesday he was told at the time. Spoonhour had been in failing health following a lung transplant and died in North Carolina Wednesday morning. Lee said he learned through members of the Spoonhour coaching tree Tuesday night that the former SLU, Missouri State and UNLV coach was still fighting, but that it wasn't a good sign when Spoonhour's son, Jay, a junior college coach, was called away from his team Tuesday night. The St. Louis Post-…

A Ladue businessman is the Republican frontrunner for the 2012 gubernatorial primary. Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder announced at 4 p.m. Friday that he is dropping out of the Missouri governor race, according to an Associated Press story.

Bob Forsch, a mainstay of the St. Louis Cardinals pitching staff for 15 seasons and a member of the team's three World Series appearances in the 1980s, has died.

Janet Esrock died Sunday following injuries sustained in an August 26 car accident.
A memorial service was held Friday for Janet Esrock, the Chesterfield woman and Whitfield School Teacher and coach who died Sunday after sustaining serious injuries in a two-car accident August 26. By one informal police estimate, there were at least 500 people in the standing room only crowd at Temple Emanuel late Friday morning. Mourners stood in the lobby after many of them parked across the street at Mercy Hospital. Those in attendance heard friends and family speak of a woman dedicated to her family, her students and her school--"she literally breathed Whitfield," one speaker said. Another described her as someone who did not have the word "no" in her vocabulary. Her cousin described Esrock, who was a 1979 graduate of Ladue Horton …
