The question, "Where did you go to high school?" is commonly asked in St. Louis; but, "What parish did you live in?" is certainly a close second. Glenn Sartori's South City Mosaic: Life on Alaska is a charming and engagingly written memoir of his childhood on the city's South Side, where he attended church and school at St. Cecelia's Parish.Glenn details his early years in a modest brick cottage on Alaska Street, introducing us to his family, his childhood friends and his teachers. Delightful vignettes paint life in a simpler time: trading baseball cards on a friend's front porch; walking to the local theater for a Saturday movie; diagramming sentences under sister's stern gaze; learning to be an altar boy; and, experiencing a first kiss--or two.Glenn's stories stirred wonderful memories for me since I was growing up a little farther south on Grand Avenue in a very similar house, also on a street lined with sycamore trees, but in St. Stephen's Parish. The boys at St. Cecelia's were more daring than the girls at St. Stephen's, however, and I laughed out loud reading Glenn's retelling of how the boys selected their confirmation names to form slightly sacrilegious acronyms with their initials. GAS (yes, Glenn chose St. Anthony) and ASS were highly rated.I look forward to Life on South Grand, the second book in Glenn's trilogy, which will recount his high school years at the all-boys' St. Mary's. I'm sure that once again my memory will be jogged. After all, while Glenn was at St. Mary's, I was just a street-car ride away, attending the all-girls' high school, St. Elizabeth Academy.

It rekindled fond memories of our childhood. What a wonderful era in which to be born with a neighborhood centered around church and school. A time that cannot be duplicated and will never return. Our generation enjoyed the the simple pleasures; freedom to walk for blocks, day or night, without any fear, family picnics, climbing trees, playing bottle caps, singing songs of the 50's and so much more. This way of life may be lost forever but your book will always keep our wonderful childhood memories alive!

A childhood symphony By chris flesor Transported to a sweeter time, life in a city neighborhood; the fabric of family-church-friends all woven together. No one needed to say, "it takes a village," because Glenn Sartori made us feel it, beautiful and funny. I love the clarity of this childhood remembered. I did not want it to end, and I wanted more detail in the stories; they were that good! Well done and thank you, Glenn. You have shared with us your lyrical childhood symphony.
