Theodore William, known as 'Bill' was an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan. As a child in the 30's, Theodore would go to the Old Sportsman's Park at Dodier and North Grand , and watch baseball with his brothers and the neighbor kids every summer weekend, all day long, sometimes even during the week. Bill and his sons, David and Alan, attended the last game at Sportsman's Park in May 1966, and the first game at the new Busch Memorial Stadium downtown a few days later.
'Bill' Seaton worked at McDonnell Aircraft in North St. Louis County for 35+ years, and worked on such high profile projects in the NASA Space program such as Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, and America's first space station, Skylab.
Always thinking of others, Dad worked to make others happy.
