You’re reading “Vicissitudes” again and that means the Paper is back and summer’s almost gone.
Many exciting things have happened since June — so many that not everything will be included this month.
The Rosedale Neighborhood Association held an election of officers on Saturday, May 23.
The following were elected: Steve Brammeier, President; Karleen Hoerr, Vice President (Communications); Marvin Nodiff, Vice President, Fund-Raising); Deborah Belke, Secretary; and Lisa Horner, Treasurer. Rosedale also sponsored a Pot Luck at Scariot Hall on Sunday, June 28th. Along with a delicious assortment of food, a men’s leg contest was held. Ken Cohen was proclaimed as having the best legs in Rosedale. Approximately 100 people attended and a great time was had by all.
The 28th Ward has a new alderman.
On July 14, Dan McGuire, 6100 Westminster, was elected to replace the vacancy left by Vince Schoemehl. Congratulations. Dan! Tom Hoerr, 6100 Kingsbury. is beginning this new school year as the new Director of New City School.
We congratulate him and wish him well.
Many of us have taken exciting and interesting vacations this summer and “Vicissitudes” always enjoys reporting these.
The Greens and the Vatchas, 6100 Westminster, spent the Fourth of July weekend on the Delta Queen.
The cruise took them to Hannibal and back.
They left the riverfront on Friday in the midst of the V.P. Fair festivities, and spent a lot of time deck-sitting and eating the great food.
One of the most unforgettable moments came when docking in Hannibal.
The gangplank of the Queen crushed the rear end of a pick-up truck and knocked a pillar out from under a Coast Guard building. Let us know if you’ve had an interesting vacation so we can report it here.
A new addition to the neighborhood is Andrew Renard Droege.
He was born to Peggy Droege, 6100 Westminster, on July 2 at St. Mary’s Hospital, weighing 7 pounds, 14 ounces.
In addition to Andrew, we have gotten quite a few new neighbors since May. John and Jan Pitts, from Florissant, are new to 6100 McPherson. John has his own business — J.T. Pitts Painting and Decorating. Jan works for Ponderosa. John (Hitch) and Mary Powell are recent arrivals to 6100 Westminster. Hitch is a salesman for B.N.A., Inc., legal publishers, and Mary is a certified dental assistant. Also new to 6100 Westminster are Karen and Mark Gornet, as well as Debbie and Gordon Gregg and their two children. Gordon is the brother of Karen Kelsey, 6000 Kingsbury. Linda and Stanly Ford are new neighbors on 6000 Kingsbury. Phyllis and Bill Hawk and daughter Jessica are recent arrivals to 6100 Washington. Ray and Joan Breun and their two children, 6100 McPherson, recently returned from a vacation in Minneapolis, Ray’s hometown, stopping along the way in Chicago and Madison.
They especially enjoyed seeing the museum and the Art Institute in Chicago. but the boys really enjoyed going to J.C. Penney’s there, where they each got a new Hot Wheels.
The condos on 6100 Pershing are becoming occupied. Julie Carter, a student at Washington University’s Art School, and Lillie Mock, who works for Southwestern Bell, are both new residents there. More in October!
