Doggie Hall of Fame

Thursday, May 16th, 2013, 10:09am

(KTVI) – It’s the kind of tile that will make you smile. And by August 2nd, hopefully hundreds of these will pave the way for shoppers at Chesterfield’s Taubman Prestige Outlets under construction.

Colleen O’Neill is Taubman’s general manager and she talks about how pet owners can get into this Hall of Fame on Saturday.

For each photo taken, two photo tiles will be created. One, the dog owner will keep; the other will be installed in the ‘Doggie Hall of Fame’ at Taubman Prestige Outlets.

The cost is $75, with part of the proceeds going to the Humane Society of Missouri.

‘Now it’s probably 10% from the area.’

Burmeister worked part time administering the Washington University Battery, an early SAT exam.

‘I was making 25 cents an hour and those days that would buy a gallon of gas,’ says Burmeister. ‘I thought that was great for a high school job.’

He got his bachelors and two master`s degrees from Washington University and in 1969 began his involvement with the school’s commencement.

He’s been called a walking history book of Washington University and has some good advice for undergrads.
