The Rosedale epidemic has subsided.
It seems that many of us who cast aside fear and trepidation to brave the wilds of Forest Park Parkway on that fateful Sunday afternoon, subsequently began breaking out in the “creeping crud.” This awful, oozing rash, which itched like mad, was said to have been acquired through contact with some strange, exotic, yet innocuous-looking leaf encountered in those treacherous wilds.
A swift recovery is wished to any and all “Raiders” who may still be suffering. Rosedale has acquired a few new neighbors and some old ones have switched blocks.
Mary and Tim Smith have moved from 6100 Waterman to 6100 Westminster. Tim teaches photography and ceramics at Parkway West and Mary is a preschool teacher for the St. Louis Association for Retarded Citizens. Tina Ragen and Steve Schaefer were married in Newton, Kansas on Sept. 5.
They have recently moved from 6000 Waterman to 5800 Pershing. Tina teaches French and Spanish at Mary Institute and Steve is an environmental engineer for Sverdrup and Parcel Corporation. Bill Mathis is a new neighbor in the 6100 block of Pershing.
He is a photographer for Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum.
Welcome to all new neighbors!
A belated congratulations to Muriel and Zachary Tinsely, 6100 Pershing, on the birth of their third daughter, Blair, June 18.
She is the new sister of Shera, 5, and Hilary, 2. Muriel is a P.E. teacher and gymnastics coach at Soldan and Zachary works for the Human Development Corporation.
Many new as well as old faces were seen enjoying hot dogs, beer and other refreshments at the Rosedale Weinie Roast.
Thanks to the Brammeiers for the use of their backyard.
The weather was absolutely beautiful for a gathering (what a switch!), and the food was great.
The Live Wires showed up ready for a third try at delivering Father Peet’s singing telegram from Rosedale, unfortunately he hadn’t arrived. Steve Brammeier’s quick thinking and a handy tape recorder managed to preserve the melodious message for all time, and later Father Peet finally received his telegram (albeit pre-recorded), which the rest of us had enjoyed “live.” Mary Powell, 6100 Westminster, recently had the opportunity to spend some time in San Francisco for a convention sponsored by the California Dental Association.
One suspects a trip to San Francisco couldn’t be all work.
Mary said she really enjoyed herself. Gail Farwell, 6000 Westminster, has started her own business which she is currently operating from her home.
She is a fashion coordinator and consultant, as well as a professional seamstress, specializing in women’s clothes and draperies. Gail lives with her husband, Victor, and her son, Jaggen, who is 17 months old.
A very special congratulations to Marcia Kerz, 6100 Westminster, who has been selected as a participant in the 1981-82 St. Louis Leadership Program, funded by the Danforth Foundation and conducted by Coro Foundation. Approximately 50 participants were selected from 150 nominees from the metro area.
This program was generated to encourage the professional development of leadership for people committed to improving the quality of life in the St. Louis area. Participants meet monthly Friday and Saturday.
The meetings are designed to provide a variety of learning experiences for those individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities. Congratulations, Marcia, and continued success. Hope your table is full of good food and surrounded by loved ones this Thanksgiving. Have a happy one!
