Washington Heights is the up and coming place to live with someone rehabbing a house everywhere we turn. George Brown reports that at least two homes are receiving extensive remodeling on the 5900 block of Pershing. Santa will have a pleasant surprise when he pops down the chimney at Dock and Laura Gunn’s house on the 5700 block of DeGiverville. He will find a beautifully renovated livingroom with some lovely decorating touches. The L’Ecuyer’s on the same block are working on their kitchen, but don’t plan to eat there, Santa. Vince Aquilino of the 5700 block of Waterman is busy working on his house too. This month he has been paying special attention to the nursery in preparation for the new little Aquilino who is expected very soon. George and Rose Storey of the same block have some exciting news. Daughter Sally and her husband Terry are expecting their first baby, the Storeys’ first grandchild, this spring. The Storeys have four children attending college this year. They are especially proud of Tim who is attending St. Louis University on a full theatrical scholarship. It seems Tim is quite the actor and has had several good parts in plays like I Remember Mama and The Royal Gambit. Look for him in other productions this season. Karen Bush has been the recipient of a full basketball scholarship to Fontbonne College, helping the Fontbonne Griffins on to victory. Karen was also a coach for the Bantam Division of the Washington Heights A’s baseball team last summer and will be active again next summer working with the sportsminded kids of the WHN area. Her mother, Anna Bush, has recovered from her recent surgery. Stay well, Anna! Did anyone see the familiar face on DeBaliviere one chill morning in November? It was Shirley Polk out hawking her papers on Old Newsboy day. Any more old newsboys/girls from WHN? Many WHN residents attended the funeral of Mrs. Hannah. former owner of the Doug Alexander home and long-time resident of the area. We have fond memories of Mrs. Hannah and extend our sympathy to her family. The 5800 block of Waterman was very active this past month. They held a bake sale at Mrs. Wimbley’s house to benefit The Paper and the Clinic. The sale was very successful and Fm sure that the Paper and the Clinic appreciate the generous spirit of the Waterman residents. They also welcomed new neighbors, the Jitters, who have purchased the Shenk’s home. We hope the Jitters and all old and new residents of WHN enjoy the coming holiday season.
