Amid winter winds and the ubiquitous flu, The Paper presses onward, with news of our neighbors that may have escaped your notice… Were You There? A few of you missed the joint WHN-RNA Christmas party, where high spirits and a truly inspiring band made for a merry evening. You shouldn’t have missed this one. Welcoming many new neighbors this month: a new friend on McPherson, Leon Gordon, and a belated welcome to those busy renovators of McPherson, the Hoefels. Ron and Phyllis Stutzman and their two children Ben and Becky, already neighbors on Pershing, soon to move to Jim Mitchell’s newly renovated house on Westminster. Welcoming to Parkview, Lawson Phaby, recently moved to a new home, and Dr. Tiejien, joining a great group of new neighbors from Seminex settled in our environs. And in the 5900 block of Waterman, Randall and Paula Grauer and their two young children join us. Happy News: on Westminster, Paul and Kathy Woodard and their two daughters Kim and Kelly welcome a baby boy, Jonathan Paul, born Jan. 10. Grace Pre-School heralds the return of Miss Berry, now well and back teaching many of our three year-olds after a recent hospital stay. We hear also that Jerry Flynn’s mother, Mrs. Dryden, is recuperating from an operation and doing great. We all wish her a happy recovery in the best possible surroundings, our neighborhood, of course! Exciting Travel News–the Sheas off to Europe with all of the family. We all envy you! And Dennis and Donna Johnson soon going to Finland in a teaching exchange. Interesting for us too, as we gain a Finnish family as neighbors for awhile. Have you seen…any signs of a new pizza place hereabouts? A Greek Food Shop rumored to be locating here? The snappy new Hamilton School sweatshirts, popping up everywhere? Our many new trees, made possible because. of RNA matching funds with homeowners? Only one pregnancy discovered since our last issue…out congratulations to Pat Kohn. Are there more? Someone out there must be willing to divulge a few secrets. Remember, the identity of our informants is kept strictly confidential, so let us know what you know. Call JoAnn at 726-6974. And happy recovery to everyone out there suffering from the latest flu epidemic! See you next month….
