Vicissitudes

March 1975

Have you noticed a few real live people out and about these days? We’ve seen election canvassers, gardeners scouting their yards, neighbors actually visiting each other on foot, even a few roller skaters. We hope that, as more of you venture out, there’ll be a lot more gossip — at least, try and do your share. Reporting our latest findings . . .

There’s a baby boom in our midst, at Grace and Peace Fellowship. First the Woodards, now Diane and Jack Binnington. of 5900 Kingsbury, welcome a third baby boy, Peter Bean, born Jan. 18 weighing 7 lb. 7 oz. Congratulations:

And we missed one in December … Caroll and Kathy Boswell of 6100 Washington had a baby girl, Emily.

Recent reports indicate that there are several more to come, notably, Linda and Peter Vaughn of 5800 Waterman, due to increase their number by August. Congratulations to all the prospectives at Grace and Peace. We’ll soon see if it’s contagious.

We are happy to share the news of Ed and Mary Bee Stout, who welcomed 7 lb. 8 oz. Daniel Patrick on February 6.

Miss Humphries, of Delmar Baptist Pre-School, has been missed by all the children during her bout with the flu. We hope she’s well and back with the little ones by the time you read this. And we wish a speedy recovery to Anna Busch, hospitalized with an asthma condition as we go to press.

Good news from 6100 Kingsbury, as Joe and Betty Botz announce the marriage of their daughter Terry to Steve Mantooth. The wedding was Friday, Feb. 14 (how romantic can you get?) at St. Roch’s. The Botz had a lovely reception at their home afterwards. Our best wishes to Terry and Steve, who will live in St. Louis county. And how exciting to have a wedding in our neighborhood.

We’ve nosed out nary a new neighbor this month. If any of you know something we don’t, shame on you for keeping quiet. The toll-free number is 726- 6974.

Don’t forget to vote on March 4.
