What should you do when the weather is wintery and snow and temperatures are falling everywhere?
Obviously the Washington Heights solution is to have a party.
The Leon Mitchells once again hosted the annual 5900 DeGiverville Christmas dinner.
Everyone thanks them for the good time.
Thanks to Anna Busch there were two occasions to stand around in a room full of people and stay warm. Willis and Loretta Lloyd arranged festivities in recognition of Anna’s many years with the Skinker-DeBaliviere Council, and Steve and Marjie Brammeier had a party for both Anna and Skip Coburn. WHN also held their annual dance and according to Horace Busch, fund raising chairman for WHN, it was a big success.
The Thurman Jefferson family made it into their new home on the 5700 block of Waterman just before the cold snap.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
On the same block, we say good-bye to Vince and Chris Acquline. Vince is beginning his training in the Navy at Newport, Rhode Island, and Chris and Rosanne are living in New York.
We wish them the best in their new life. James Foster, a friendly fellow himself, is working for the “friendliest store in town,” Schnucks. Good luck to him in his new job.
We offer our condolences to the family of Anna Williams who lived on the 5700 block of Pershing.
Our sympathy also goes to Edith Harris of the 5900 block of Waterman whose father died recently. Mr. Harry Wimbley didn’t mind trading California weather for our cold. He’s happy to return home after his hospital stay of several months. Mr. Wimbley’s son, Wilton, and his fiancee. Elizabeth Perison, announced their engagement on New Year’s day.
They will be married on June 19. Karen Busch became engaged on Christmas Eve to Donald Craig.
They met while attending ROTC classes at Washington U. Randy and Nancy Bailey are looking forward to their second child sometime this summer.
Congratulations to all couples. Karen and Debbie Busch know that one way to keep warm is to keep moving, so they spend a lot of time dribbling balls up and down basketball courts. Debbie received a trophy for her efforts and Karen won an All-Star medal in a tournament at East Central Jr. College in Illinois.
But back to winter.
A water pipe burst at Crossroads School on Jan. 12, flooding the north end of the building.
The firemen of Co. 30, teachers, students and even parents helped in the clean-up.
To the amazement of the students, school resumed as usual the following day.
Since Crossroads chose clean-up over freeze-up the former site of the Winter Garden remains a school instead of place a we could use to keep moving and warm by by skating. You have already missed your chance to keep warm cutting firewood on Jim L’Ecuyer’s annual New Year’s Eve camping trip on the Current River, so maybe you can warm up the WHN way—have yourself a party.
Until then….
