Many friends and neighbors bid farewell to Cherie and Doug McKee and their children, Mac, Kate, and Liz, as they made a drastic move —to Jefferson County in mid-October. City dwellers since they came to St. Louis to go to school, residents of this neighborhood for ten years, the McKees will no doubt adjust and be fine, but the thought of it is somewhat staggering, is it not? We will miss them.
We heard from another long-time neighbor this month; Sue Tepas wrote for the Paper, patently unwilling to go, as she said, “cold turkey.” We understand. And even further, from Mexico, we hear that the Kohns of Kingsbury are surviving though with a daughter’s broken ankle, among other difficulties encountered so far.
We are sorry to report that William Bolden, President of Washington Heights Neighbors, has recently been in the hospital yet again. We understand he’s home and recuperating and we hope he will be out and around soon and often.
Anna Busch, Secretary of SDCC, is back at her familiar post in the office of the Council again, and it’s nice to know she’s well again.
Congratulations to Barbara and Andrew Dorris of Parkview who have a new baby, Dunsau Richardson, born October 5. Barbara, who has been teaching gym classes at St. Roch’s this year, has been looking very fit! We’re happy to announce their lovely news.
Our best wishes go to Jim and Rose Flynn, who were married on September 23 at St. Roch’s Church. Jim is the eldest son of Jack and Gerry Flynn, of the 6100 block of McPherson. Jim and Rose will reside in their newly purchased home on the 5900 block of Pershing. Congratulations—more Flynns are always welcome additions to our neighborhood.
Rosedale held its annual “New Neighbors Social” on October 21 at Scariot Hall. A good group of local “old neighbors” met several relatively recent-comers, and enjoyed each other’s company awhile. Among those discovered while preparing for the gathering: Margaret Campbell, who lives on the 6100 block of Pershing, as do Sarah Minor and Eve Hossfeld, both of whom recently purchased and are currently rehabbing homes on that block. Also new to Pershing is Bill Fitzgibbons. Welcome to all the new Pershingites.
On the 6000 block of McPherson, we welcome David Knarr, and Jeff and Marian Simms, who have been working hard for quite some time.
New to 6100 McPherson are Tim and Claire Hanlon.
On the 6000 block of Washington, we’re happy to welcome John Shapley and Arthelda Nash.
On Kingsbury, we are happy to tell you of James Geer, who bought the Neill house on the 6100 block, and, on the 6000 block, John McDonald and Laura Falberti have replaced the Marcus clan in the “Kingsbury Townhouses.” Welcome to all!
