Our lead item this month concerns our fearless leaders, Marj and Brad Weir. We are happy to announce the birth of their second child, Lynn Frances Weir, born on February 14. We have missed Marj’s touch in The Paper this month and look forward to her return to active duty. Congratulations to the Weirs.
Our neighbor Avis Carlson had to miss her own autograph party at the library, due to a broken arm suffered just the day before. Mrs. Carlson was hospitalized briefly, but she is home now and has only slightly slowed down. We hope the autograph party will be rescheduled soon, so we may all celebrate her wonderful book and her return to full health.
Michael Goldsby, son of Mr. and Mrs. LaSalle Goldsby, of the 5700 block of Pershing, has completed his basic training in the Marine Corps and is now stationed at Camp Pendleton. We wish Michael well as he begins his career as a Marine.
Remember that glorious, warm, MidFebruary day you wished you could be outside? Grace Pre-School was enjoying it at the zoo and managed to get on television to boot. Lucky are those who are really able to enjoy the few great days of winter.
If you missed the Progressive Dinner, you missed a heck of an evening. This annual St. Roch’s benefit certainly enlivened the winter season. The cocktail parties and dinners were exceptionally well planned and executed, and, as always, it was fun to meet and talk with neighbors we didn’t know previously. The final party, at the Phaby’s, was a huge and happy gathering and obviously enjoyed mightily. Congratulations to all those who worked hard to make the night a success.
The 6100 block of Westminster will soon be welcoming new neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Steve Schiller (yes, you’ve met him at Colonial Rug); also coming to that block are Larry and Cecily Barker, whom many of us met at the Progressive Dinner. We look forward to having both couples on one of the best blocks in the neighborhood.
Another lovely piece of news has come to us from good old Westminster: John and Ann Geers are expecting their second child. There are so many new and expected babies these days, it makes one wonder if it’s contagious or if everyone wants to have a Bicentennial Baby. (Anyone who admits to that motive will be committed promptly). Congratulations to the Geers!
If you didn’t find news here that happened where you are, shame on you. Remember, next time let us know what your family is doing, what your neighbors are doing, … we’ll print it!
