I have no idea why I noticed this obituary earlier this week, but John B. Marshall, Jr. died in Sun City, AZ recently. He was a Marine Corps fighter pilot who served in WWII and Korea. After leaving service he founded and operated the High Fidelity Showroom, Cyrano's Restaurant and Restaurant de Bergerac. He was also active in the promotion of individual liberty and free market philosophy. In the 1960s he hosted a monthly lecture group on Ayn Rand's objectivist philosophy and he was a long time board member of The Discussion Club of St. Louis. He has a son Joseph living here in Chesterfield, a daughter in Fairfax, VA and grand children. Whodda ever thunk that the fellow running one of our favorite haunts was also an intellectual???
For a picture of the Cyrano's menu, check out the photos on the website at http://www.khs65.com, it's a great shot! Thanks again to Rich Mills for sending me that onceuponatime when he moved and was cleaning out STUFF.
