"Connor was mum on plans for the lot in the town where his family is well-known. A little park a couple of blocks from it is named for his father, who once owned many of the buildings in the area and founded the Casey’s Sports stores chain (the first store opened on Kirkwood Road in 1953)." ~ St Louis Post-Dispatch
