Remembering E J Thias House on Earth Day

Interesting angles and surrounded by trees. E J Thias was an early planner of the city of Sunset Hills, Missouri. Many of the natural wildflowers and trees remain in the area because of E J and others who cared.

E J's Daffodils

There are hundreds of daffodils in E J's garden this Spring. We took a photo of one of the rows. We miss him.

Remembering E J Thias

We have received so many kind words from E J's students, friends and peers that we are going to start posting some of them!

"Snow and Steel" copyright E J Thias

E J Thias' painting of the Arch in snow. He titled it "Snow and Steel". Notice his three children running through the snow. Sometimes it is difficult to tell whether the children in some of his paintings are his three children or his three grandchildren. We have to look at the date on the painting. See me (the youngest) running down the hill trying to keep up.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year
