We’re still catching up on summer news.
Some people couldn’t be reached for the September issue because they were still savoring their summer vacations. Anna and Horace Busch are back from the Las Vegas trip they won earlier this year.
While they were out that way they took in some of Mexico and California. Thelma Young of the 5800 block of DeGiverville had a good time in Reno, Las Vegas and California. Al Hirt was glad to see Bev Taylor and Esther Herron in New Orleans and stopped to chat with them between numbers. Lucky Vivian Dobbs spent her vacation on a cruise to Jamaica.
Bruce and Chris Smith camped out on their way to Oklahoma with Chris’ remarkable mother who still enjoys camping at age 80.
They visited old friends and as many historical sites as possible. Anyone who wants to know more about Cherokee Indians should ask Bruce.
Mike McGrath spent a few weeks in Fairhaven, N.Y. on Lake Ontario doing some sailing, fishing, swimming and otherwise keeping cool in 80 degree and lower temperatures. What a great souvenir the weather would have made!
Venita and Rich Lake and children had a delightful trip to San Francisco in a spacious R.V. to visit friends.
We could all help Rich extend that good holiday feeling by coming to the Art Fair meeting at his house October 14th at 7:30 p.m.
Ronnie and Gary Mueller had a good time hosting an Open House for Kingsbury Square residents in August. Across the way from them, Crossroads School, which is in the old Bettendorf store location on DeBaliviere, had their school picnic September 3rd.
Ronnie Haliburton, Joe Herron and Mrs. Perkins of the 5800 block unit organized an evening of entertainment on August 23rd for the senior citizens who live at the Winter Garden apartments. Live music, refreshments and games were all part of the fun. Everyone had such a great time, they can hardly wait to find out what other treats the 5800 block has in store for them.
We were sorry to hear that Mr. Wimbley of the 5800 block of Waterman was hospitalized in August.
He is home now making a good recovery.
Our sympathy goes to the Simpson’s of the 5700 block of Waterman whose daughter Darlene passed away this summer after a long illness.
We are sure Darlene is missed by many.
Welcome to new neighbors Roger and Linda Pryor who have purchased a home on the 5800 block of DeGiverville.
Congratulations to Deborah and Albert White who were married in July. Deborah is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Taylor of the 5800 DeGiverville block.
Several families gathered for reunions this summer.
The Gussie Howard family held their reunion from August 8th to the 10th. Esther Herron’s family reunited in Wainsville, Mo.
The oldest family member, who is 85 years old, was present. Joe Herron traveled all the way to Memphis for his family reunion.
Good news from 5700 block of DeGiverville! Doug and Cleo Alexander are starting their own little softball team at home.
The baby is due to arrive this winter and will just about be able to hold a ball for spring practice.
Shirley Polk’s son Michael was home for a brief visit before returning to Houston, Texas where he is in his second year of study to become a pharmacist. Michael is doing well in school and finds Houston a great place to be.
Sylvester and Opal Hebron of the 5700 block of Waterman celebrated their 25th anniversary on July 20th.
They renewed their vows in a contemporary ceremony at the Union Memorial United Methodist Church at which her brother Leon E. Doom Jr. was soloist and escorted Opal to the altar. Cheryl Ann Payne and Donna Lynn were bridesmaids for their mom and Sylvester Jr. served as his dad’s best man.
A reception followed in the church Martha C. Lewis Hall.
