        Schnuck family: Citizen(s) of the Year

        Every member of the Schnuck family knows that their monthly meetings - dubbed the"6S" - are sacred.

        The six Schnuck siblings - five brothers and one sister who are equal shareholders inthe grocery chain business - schedule their vacations around the meetings, where theyplot business strategy.

        "It's the meeting you don't miss," said Todd Schnuck, president and chief operating officer of Schnuck Markets.

        It's been that way since the late 1980s, when their father, the legendary grocery magnate the late Don Schnuck, called the first meeting to order. The following generation has carried on the tradition with a nearly perfect attendance record ever since.They are held at roundtables by design so there is no head of the table. And consensus rules.

        The Schnucks are so accustomed to working as a family that when civic leaders recently approached Scott Schnuck, the company's chairman and CEO, about recognizing him as Citizen of the Year, he insisted that his siblings - and even a cousin who also is a shareholder - share the spotlight, too.

        "For the sake of family harmony," Scott Schnuck said, "it's important to me that the whole family share in it."

        So for the first time, this award, which is sponsored by the Post-Dispatch, is going to an entire family. The winner is chosen every year by a committee of previous recipients
