Sally Danforth As an heir to the Ralston -Purina corporation, Jack is no stranger to philanthropy and a deep affection for his family ties to the St. Louis area. From the early seventies as Missouri's Attorney General to his 18 years as Republican Senator of Missouri, Jack is respected for his impeccable credentials, record of integrity and his soft- spoken affable nature. His vocation as an Episcopal minister prepared for a lifetime of working for the good of fellow citizens. His most recent commitment is as Chair of 2204, the committee that is heading the centennial celebration of the 1904 World's Fair held in St. Louis.. Jack's wife Sally raised four daughters and kept the home fires burning during their political career.. some of her favorite recipes have origins in family and friend's kitchens from "back home". Jack's mother remembered apricot nut bread baking in the oven at her childhood home in Jefferson City, an old French Family in St. Louis served the fruit compote often. Jack's family of Charleston, MO served molded tuna salad and the lentil soup was served after a Chiefs' victory in Kansas City..
