St. Louis Drive In

At St. Louis High School
students started a tradition
in the sixties at the St. Louis
Drive In across the way
when they placed spare change
on a ledge above the order window
so when another student was short
of change they could partake.
I checked it out the other day
and though many years have passed
this wonderful tradition
hasn't gone away.

St. Louis High is in Honolulu.
Appreciating the value of the
tradition, I left some coins
after stopping for some refreshments.

Dear James, I am not surprised that you would wholeheartedly continue in the tradition. Love this poetic rendering.

Love,
