December 1979

Historical December 1979 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

Good news abounds this fall in SkinkerDeBaliviere, and we have many neighbors to congratulate. We welcome to the Westminster (Consiglio) house Ms. Doe Cook and son.

The 6100 block of Westminster has also welcomed new neighbors Marvin and Marcia Nodiff and Bill and Lisa Horner. Bill is a cousin of Parkview’s Bob Homer. At the other end of the block are Pat and Carrie Sullivan and small daughter Colleen.

Welcome to all! Tom and Mary Jo Consiglio have moved from Westminster to the 6300 block of Pershing in Parkview; they also have a new baby girl, Mia, who is second daughter, joining six-year old Ami.

Congratulations to all the Consiglios, especially Mary Jo, who now has another house to do in her inimitable way. On 6100 block of McPherson, the newest neighbors are Ray and Joan Breun and their sons Ben and John. Ray and Joan moved here from Florissant —just the sort of enlightened people we like to see here! Jim Geer will be returning to the 6100 block of Kingsbury with his bride Jane.

They were married November 17 in Connecticut.

Congratulations and best wishes!

The condos at 311 Rosedale are all occupied. We’re looking forward to meeting Nancy Lee and Sharon Green.

The third owner is Bob Blackburn, familiar to us from his many years service as liason to the Community Council from Washington University.

Congratulations of a different sort are due Stephen Mestres, ‘son of the 6100 block Kingsbury’s Joe and Marlene Mestres. Steve, who is employed by Rubin, Brown, Gornstein, & Co. in Clayton, recently passed the CPA exam, no mean feat. Also somewhat interesting is how this writer became aware of Steve’s accomplishment. Would you believe while doing the layout of the CPA Society’s newsletter? Well, believe it, for, in case you hadn’t heard (or didn’t care), there has been a second Vatcha gainfully employed for some four months now, as Education and Meetings Director of the Missouri Society of CPA’s. What a mouthful! We are pleased to pass on the news that Bette Botz and Karleen Hoerr have both made rapid recoveries from their recent surgery. It’s good to know that their strenuous efforts on behalf of the

The Paper did not delay their recuperation. Marj and Dave Reichert of the 6100 block of Washington welcomed autumn baby Benjamin, joining four-year old David in the Reichert home.

Congratulations!

The 6000 block of Washington welcomes Ms. Candace Page, her son J.P. and daughter Kelly, who are now the owner-occupants of the apartment house formerly owned by Chris and Joe Lange. And last but not least, congratulations to our many wondrously expectant parents: Nancy and Ken Cohen, Jan and Bill Kuhl, Lois and Vince Schoetnehl and Marj and Steve Brammeier (who are also in the throes of another kind of birth process-rehabbing their house). Mucho luck to all. One final word from this corner: lasting gratitude, from one who knows, to the new volunteer leadership of

The Paper. How great it is that we keep it going!
