Speaker Series: “Growing Up in St. Louis in the Last Century,” by Ron Elz aka Johnny Rabbitt, Parkway UCC, Town & Country

February 13, 2026 @ 11:15 am - 12:30 pm
History comes alive with this program by St. Louis radio legend, Ron Elz, also known as Johnny Rabbitt. Mr. Elz was the first to use the Johnny Rabbitt moniker and helped popularize the name during the 1960’s at the radio station KXOK. After some time away from the Rabbitt persona, Mr. Elz resumed using the Johnny Rabbitt name in 1975 and since has hosted the classic oldies show Route 66 on KMOX. He also has continued his legacy by presenting programs like this one, that explore interesting and novel nostalgic times in the River City.
This is one of Parkway’s acclaimed Speakers Series program and all are welcome from the Missouri Mid-South Conference community.
