1-16-05 Post-Dispatch Article/Local Media Response

[SledMaster]

Well, thanks to todays Post-Dispatch article on the front page of the Everyday section, I'm being inundated by hill submittals. I appreciate them all! I would like to give a special thank you to Harry O'toole who has kindly given me data and photo's that he personally went out and shot today of some recently submitted hills in the St. Louis area. One being "Suicide Hill" at Forest Park, which is stated to be HIGHER than Art Hill. I must check this out during the next big snow.

So, as for the local media, this site has been talked about on the following since its inception date of 12-11-04:

1) St. Louis Post-Dispatch article titled "King of the Hills" Jan. 2005
2) Arnold/Imperial Leader
3) Jefferson County Leader
4) KSDK Channel 5 morning news and website of the day
5) WVRV 101.1 The River w/ Vic & Trish morning radio show interview.
6) Site mentioned on Z107.7 afternoon radio

** John Pertzborn with Fox 2 KTVI emailed showing interest, but I've been unable to get back with him regarding an interview.

**The Jefferson County Suburban Journal also emailed about a possible story, but they too haven't gotten back with me regarding an interview.

I think that about sums it up. Not too bad for only being a month old, eh. If there are any that I had possibly missed, then please, feel free to let me know.

Kind Regards,

Steve King (Sledmaster)
