Window on Washington Heights

September 1979

Historical September 1979 report or notice. Dates, prices, contacts and institutional claims describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

New people in Washington Heights include Demetrias and Jennifer Owens at 5832 DeGiverville. Demetrias is a “black belt” in Karate so we will be wary of him.

Also new to DeGiverville but not new to the neighborhood are John and Thelma Young.

Christopher Hexter and children Anna and Joshua have moved to 5860 DeGiverville.

Congratulations to Joe and Esther Herron on their first grandchild, Courtney Ann born July 1, 1979.

We hear Vivian Dobbs has been off on a cruise. We hope she had a good time.

Eddie Sanders is now blockchairman for the 5900 block of DeGiverville.

Mrs. Dean Haywood of 5850 DeGiverville is home from the hospital after surgery. We hope she’ll be getting around soon.

New people on the 5900 block of Pershing are Eric, Kalyn McNeal and their baby Joseph. They’re really working from scratch on their house. Looks like they’re doing a fine job.

The kitchen at Rich and Venita Lake’s is no longer a construction area. It looks like Better Homes and Gardens. We’ll remember that for the House Tour.

New on the 5700 block of Waterman are the Agnes Quinn family, Mr. and Mrs. Vincent Acquilino, the Don Fitz family, the Michael Robert Reed family and, all the way from Pershing, the Charles Rhem family.

The 5700 block of DeGiverville held a picnic in Forest Park this summer, due to Shirley Polk’s planning and the work of many. “Adverse conditions” cancelled that block’s annual bazaar, but Shirley quickly removed the items from the street to Garavelli’s parking lot. As a family fun festival, it was well attended and everyone had a good time.

Ken Baker of the 5800 block of Waterman and his new bride Lois are settled in. Congrats!

And finally, happy news on the 5800 block of Waterman — Randy and Nancy Bailey are expecting baby number ONE!
