The bloom was gone from Rose Storey’s porch and was missed by many residents who look forward to the annual WHN flower sale each spring.
We were sorry to learn that the reason for the flowers’ absence was Rose’s illness and hospitalization. Fortunately, she is doing much better and is even back at work.
Anna Williams of the 5700 block of Pershing is home from the hospital and doing better. Leon Doom is also recuperating after an illness and is finding getting around somewhat easier.
Congratulations to Deborah Northcross who has been selected as a top sales person by her employer.
She will soon be enjoying the luxury of a Caribbean cruise as her reward.
Our condolences go to the Evans family of the 5700 block of Waterman. John Evans died this April.
His family, friends and neighbors will miss him.
Congratulations to Karen Brown, who has graduated from Washington U. with a degree in Computer Data Processing.
Now that Karen has two degrees and time on her hands, her good neighbor, Venita Lake, is looking for another program to keep Karen busy.
The Lakes enjoyed their trip to New Orleans where Rich attended the International Reading Association Convention.
Mike Magrath spent five days in Minneapolis learning to train boards of directors to run co-ops.
Back at home, Walter and Jo Ann McElory became the proud parents of baby Warren Joseph who weighed 7lbs. 7oz. when he arrived on April 16th. April was a busy month for Jim and Sue Gamble of the 5800 block of Waterman.
They welcomed their new baby girl.
Congratulations to John Thomas on his appointment as director of SLATE by none other than our famous neighbor from the Rosedale sector, Vince Schoemehl.
Thanks to Misters Polk, McLucas, Hunt and others who have decided budget cuts or no, DeGiverville will be clean.
They have formed a group of willing hands to clean the street whenever necessary.
Some other neighbors have been talking about working together to keep the streets looking good. Remember the bad old days before street cleaning? How is your block doing?
David Pearson of the 5800 block of Waterman is now a graduate of UMSL.
Congratulations on obtaining his degree and on his acceptance into St. Louis University’s Law School.
Mary Broon and Vera Savage of 5900 Pershing have completed training in upholstery.
We understand their work is beautiful and they’re ready for business.
Although we had to forego the flower sale, John Thomas and Shirley Polk promise that there will be a WHN picnic in the park during August.
Look for further information in the calendar. See you there.
Until then
