Unfinished Business By: Glenn Chatman Small and social/economically owned small businesses (8(a) contractors), this is your guide to working with the federal government! Many 8(a) contractors, lacking an understanding of government contracting and business practices, are unable to successfully negotiate and enjoy competitive opportunities with the federal government in areas of architecture, construction, engineering, and more. However, as Director of the Small Business Program for the Army Corps of Engineers (St. Louis District) for the final sixteen years of my career, I have a unique insight into the many hidden facets related to small business entities. Unfinished Business! features four business process modules that cover these often-unknown elements, along with in-depth strategies and tactics which, when applied, will allow you to successfully serve as a reliable contractor to the federal government. Based only on factual processes that have proven to be a winning formula for those select small business who wish to pursue government opportunities on a competitive or sole source basis, Unfinished Business! is your roadmap to success with the federal government. Information is knowledge and knowledge is power—power to make a better-informed decision.

Since the beginning of the 20th century, St. Louis' Greek-American community has been a vibrant part of the city's fabric. Through a series of vivid personal accounts of growing up in two worlds during the post-WWII era, Growing Up Greek in St. Louis explores the challenges faced by Greek-Americans as they sought to preserve a rich cultural heritage while assimilating to American ways. From a detailed account of her Grandmothers' struggles during the occupation of Greece during WWII and the Asia Minor Holocaust to the first hand experiences faced by Greek-American children in Greek school, the celebration of name days, and the ever-present "evil eye," the book captures the sense of tradition, history, hospitality (philotimo), and community so vital to the Greek experience.

East St. Louis, Illinois had, and still has, a very colorful history. Since the 1970's there has been a steady decline of this city, in the shadow of the Gateway Arch. After returning from Viet Nam at the end of 1970, the author found himself working at City Hall in East St. Louis, a place where he had been raised. This coincided with the election of the first Black mayor for the city. He had friends and relatives in all parts of the city. He knew the streets, alleys, and playgrounds from hanging out in those places during his childhood. During his employment in the city's government, there was a loss of control of millions of dollars of federal funds. The actions of certain people in the city's government contributed to this loss for control. The loss of its Prime Sponsorship designation made it impossible for the city to provide jobs and job training for many people depending on the funds to live. This account describes some of the actions during that period that led to the loss of its Prime Sponsorship. It will allow the reader some background as to why East St. Louis is a mere shell of its former glory.
