About The Observer

It started as a dinner table discussion decades ago. Six kids. Six opinions. Six trajectories. Now, there are six-plus small businesses and lots of  experience, a fair amount of knowledge, and plenty of opinion to share as well as goods and services to sell.

Thanks for visiting The Styron Observer & Commercial Appeal, an online magazine featuring the businesses and professions of Jane, Emery, Harry, John, Sam, and Kevin Styron. We also invite Styrons and relatives in business everywhere to promote their own enterprises here, or join this forum for sharing knowledge, experience, opinion, and friendship.….learn more

The Adventures of Trav & Rascal, Episode 1: Rascal takes the bait

By Emery Styron

This is Traveler’s first foray into video production. We hope you like it. The video was shot at our office in Valley Park, Mo., using hand puppets owned by our assistant editor, Jo Schaper. Jo and yours truly were running the puppets, while Jo’s brother, Bill Schaper, operated the camera.

My son, Jackson Styron, who has a degree in film production from Webster University and does freelance video work in Washington, D.C., edited our rough takes and added subtitles and music, using Final Cut Pro software.

The video is posted on YouTube with tags such as “Missouri outdoors” that will help our audience find it. It is also posted on Traveler’s Facebook page, my personal Facebook page, Traveler’s own website and on Styron Observer. The idea is to get it out there on all the channels we have available. It can also be played on a computer at trade shows or run on local cable television.
