The Life and Times at Meyer's Grove

Lu Ann (Meyer) Luecke grew up in a small business in the small town of New Haven, Missouri, from the 1960s through the 1980s. The business was a service station and café with the family home attached. Home to her and her two older brothers, Steve and Tim, along with their mom and dad, Buster and Marian, Meyer's Station was also the social hub of the town.

In The Life and Times at Meyer's Grove, Lu Ann spins the extraordinary tale of the adventures and busy life at this service station. Taking the reader on a journey from World War II through the turbulent '60s and ever-changing '70s, Lu Ann relives the moments of her childhood through the lens of history. She introduces her large family, who supported one another in the tough times and always seemed to be around in the fun times. You'll also meet the colorful characters who were regulars at the station as well as the powerful people who stopped by on their way through town.

This humorous and heartfelt look back gives glimpses of a family working hard to keep a small business going and growing up together in the picturesque town on the Lewis and Clark Trail between the towns of Washington and Hermann, Missouri.
