St. Louis Jews have had along love-affair with the Three Stooges. First, of all not-counting Joe DeRita, they are all Jews, and Joe Besser is from St. Louis, and his family still lives here.Â
A month after its debut in 1959, KPLR TV, began running Three Stooges comedy shorts as part of an after-school cartoon show. Then in the 1980s, they became a staple on Saturday nights. There is now a generation of 45-year-old and plussers who wax nostalgic for the Stooges, and I m at the top of the list.Â
The Three Stooges have been making us laugh with their unique and sometimes painful brand of slapstick comedy since 1922. They made their mark in short subjects, television syndication, and full-length feature films, but like anything great, they faded due to changing times and technology.Â

One year ago, Boston University was transformed, seemingly overnight, by the COVID-19 pandemic. Students were sent home to finish the spring semester remotely, nonessential staff told to work from home, and a bustling campus suddenly eerily quiet.
In the intervening months, the University has managed to return to
some semblance of normalcy, thanks to an aggressive testing and contact tracing program. But it’s been a year unlike any other marked by social distancing, masks, a hybrid learning system, and now, the advent of vaccines.

A bit of nostalgia: Do you know how many stooges of the Three Stooges fame there were?
You can find CURLI (Curly Howard) on an intersection on the LOC RWY 35 approach to Norwood Memorial airport near Boston on a NoPT leg from Providence, Rhode Island VOR.
Adding to nostalgia, as you proceed further along on the LOC, there is one of the few remaining Outer Markers that also has a co‑located NDB (Locator Outer Marker LOM) identified as STOGE (Morse Code OW) which also acts as an IAF.
No idea what happened to the other five of the six Three Stooges. Yes the other stooges were Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard, Joe Besser, and Curly‑Joe DeRita.
