COOK FAMILY:



The Cook family owned a store at Vichy Mo. for years. Leslie Cook Sr. was the owner and I think his son lives in or next to the store now. The store is no longer in business. I bought many a Pepsi there. I was foreman of the newspaper at Rolla back in the early 50s, and Leslie Jr. was an apprentice there. There was a Mineral Spring at Vichy and every weekend, this spring would be packed with people who believed it had medicinal properties.
