Tony Foulds
Tony was a young boy in Sheffield, England when he witnessed a damaged American bomber—piloted by 23-year-old St. Louisan Lt. John G. Kriegshauser—deliberately crash away from a crowded park during WWII, a decision that saved civilians and killed all ten airmen on board. For more than 70 years, Tony has tended the memorial to those men out of gratitude, and after recent fundraising, he finally visited St. Louis in April to honor the pilot who saved his life.
