Grey Eagle Distributors Chairman Jerry Clinton presents a $121,330 check to Blackstoppers' executive director Hal Richardson. The check represents money raised at last November's Budweiser "Guns 'N Hoses" boxing show at the Savvis Center. Joining Clinton in the check presentation were Charles Coyle, deputy fire chief of St.

Louis City; Chief Ron Henderson of the St. Louis Police Department; Chief Ron Battle of the St. Louis City Police Department and Bob Metcalf, chief of the University City Fire Department. "Tragically, one of the reasons that this year's even raised such a large amount of money is that three police officers and one firefighter died on duty between August and the end of October," Mr. Clinton said. "In each insance, the Backstoppers steppepd in to help the families, just as they have done since the organization was formed in 1959."
