Rosedale has another celebrity!
On February 19, Helen Hitchcock, 6100 Kingsbury, was one of four featured guests on the Phil Donahue Show. Helen was invited to the show, which is filmed in New York, to appear with Ann O’Donnell of St. Louis and two Dominican nuns from Nashville. Helen was representing a group called Women for Faith and Family.
She unfortunately was unable to stay in New York to shop or sight-see; however, the four women did get to have lunch with Archbishop O’Connor of New York.
The Rocco DiLorenzo family, 6100 Kingsbury, was celebrating last month. Their daughter, Gabrielle, was home for a month from the Peace Corps. Gabrielle spent her time visiting with family and friends, as well as shopping for some “bare necessities” that are unobtainable in Honduras where she has been living for the last two years.
She spent most of her time in La Paz, but says that she has seen much of Honduras and has enjoyed learning about their lifestyle and culture.
She has been able to send back some Honduran art and handcrafts. Gabrielle will be returning to Honduras in April. Neighbors and friends were pleased to see that Margaret Campbell, 6100 Pershing, is recovering. Margaret had a bout of illness and hospitalization recently.
Many were saddened to hear of the death of George Ittig in early March. Mr. and Mrs. Ittig had been former Parkview residents.
Some knew him as the father of Georgi Fox, 6100 McPherson.
Our deepest condolences go to Georgi and her family, especially Mrs. Ittig.
Congratulations to Rosedale’s own Vince Schoemehl who soundly defeated his opponents in the March Democratic primary for Mayor of St. Louis. Vince and his family live in 6100 Westminster.
Welcome to Charles Edward Littlejohn! Charles was born to Nita and Steve Littlejohn, 6100 Kingsbury, on March 14, weighing almost nine pounds. We’d like to welcome to their new home in our neighboring Washington Heights, Elizabeth and Greg Freeman and their son William. Greg is a writer-columnist for the Post-Dispatch. Elizabeth has a new position as Director of Public Relations and Development for Consolidated Neighborhood Services Inc.
In addition to that, she also serves on the Times board.
For those of you who didn’t read it here earlier, Ann and Bill FitzGibbons are off to Alaska with son Sean and dog in tow.
We wish them luck. Yours truly is serving as the Interim Executive Director of the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council until a permanent director can be selected.
The new SDCC office is at Delmar Baptist, 6195 Washington, in case anyone’s missed it in the old location. Telephone number remains the same.
