One of the most significant events for many neighbors this month was the delivery of the long awaited Girl Scout Cookies.
While some of us barely remembered placing orders, most quickly accepted packages.
The past and present officers of the Rosedale Neighborhood Association honored as many “new neighbors” as could be identified at a “New Neighbors Party” on April 4.
The festivity was held at the Hoerr’s home.
Because of the gap in time between the last such party and this event, the newness of some neighbors was questionable (as with both of yours truly), but all enjoyed the opportunity to meet “newer” people.
The most accurate definition of a “New Neighbor” seems to be anyone living within the general area of Rosedale who claims to have lived there for no more than two to six years or who plans to live within the area within the next few years.
A sketchy list of just some who attended is as follows: Karen Cornet, Stanley and Linda Jones, Susan Kidd, Evan Dick, Al Roehwinkle, Stephen and Diane Niewoehner, Seth and Maurice Carlin, Lisa and Bill Horner, John Abramson, Sandy and Johnny Sims, Marcia Kerz and Mary Nodiff, as well as a host of others who may have exceeded the stiff definition.
Arline and Richard Webb, of 6100 Pershing, will soon be traveling to Philadelphia, combining business with pleasure.
Arline will be visiting relatives while Richard attends a management seminar. Richard has recently been promoted to night manager at SmithKline Laboratory.
Ken and Pat Krippner,6100 Waterman, are making two new additions to their family.
They are in the process of adopting two sisters, Rachel, three years old, and Nikki, five and a half.
The girls will be joining the Krippner family in late April or early May, making a total of seven children.
The residents of 6100 Waterman are pleased to see Viola Theil getting around the neighborhood and slowly recouperating from a recent heart attack.
Viola, who is 75 years old, is a retired librarian from Washington University. St. Roch’s Men’s Slow Pitch Softball Team is “in training” for it’s new season.
The team will play sixteen games on Friday nights beginning in May. Anyone interested in playing should contact coach Brad Weir, of 6100 Westminster.
As previously outlined (“Vicissitudes,- Sept. 1980), we understand the qualifications will remain the same as last year: “players must be over thirty years of age, they cannot be so skilled that they embarrass other members, and love for the game cannot be surpassed by consumption of spirits.” Ken Kress of 6100 Pershing is leaving us for Philadelphia this month.
The staff of the Paper will be particularly sorry to lose his writing, editing and lay out skills, but wish him all good luck in his burgeoning free lance career.
Lisa Horner, 6100 Westminster, had a unique opportunity to participate in the Annual “Missouri Conference on the Young Years” sponsored by the State Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in Jefferson City on April 3 and 4. Lisa’s PreSchool Parent-Child Program at Francis Howell School District was one of three programs featured at the two day event which is designed to share successful early childhood/parent education programs with teachers and school administrators.
The presentation by Lisa and her staff focused on screening procedures for preschool children, and follow-up methods utilized in individual school districts when developmental delays or handicaps are identified in a child.
Just in case someone happened to miss the newspapers on Tuesday, April 7, we felt it necessary to mention that Vince Schoemehl, 6100 Westminster, was elected Mayor of the City of St. Louis.
Congratulations to Vince and Lois. It’s certainly nice to know someone in City Hall.
In one of Vince’s first appointments, Jill McGuire, 6100 Westminster, was appointed to the Mayor’s Staff to serve as a chief spokesperson for Schoemehl. Jill will also work on special projects and serve as a trouble-shooter for Vince.
Vicissitudes would like to offer a special congratulatory note to all students in the Rosedale area who are graduating this spring.
If you are graduating from grade school, high school or college, please let Vicissitudes know and we will place your name in the next issue of “The Paper.”
