hello, my name is jim, I want to tell you my ambassador story. first, my spelling is off, I appologize, 1970’s catholic school phonics. whatever. in 1982 i became fascinated in the ambassador at the age of 12. I dont know why. We would visit family in the city and pass through downtown and hear story’s of that building or this building. the ambassador caught me. I couldn’t get enough of my folks personel recounts of the place, in a book store i bought a copy of mary bagleys book “the front row, missouri’s grand movie palecs. I got her info and contacted her and asked if she would be interested in forming a non- profit group to save the ambassador. I was 13 years old. what the heck did i know about historic preservation, or fund raising? NOTHING. but i was passionate about the place for GOD knows why and I couldn’t be more proud pf all the pubplicity that we got the ‘ole girl, befoe she went down. I was at city hall for the hearings, i was at the clearense auction, I have a hundred pictures that I want to
scan and make a web sight to dedicate to the place to make my memories public.
