Historical May 1985 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Bill Kohn, 6100 Kingsbury, who just recently closed the exhibition “Art in Architecture” in the west end, will be inaugurating a new show “Sundial,” with a reception at his studio at Des Peres and Kingsbury on May 4. Sundial is a collaborative work of computer art and electronic music which will feature Bill’s own work and that of electronic composer, Tom Hamilton.
The exhibition will be at the Timothy Burns Gallery on Euclid from May 4 until early June.
The computer work was a donation of Design Network Inc., a St. Louis computer graphics firm.
The showing also received some funding from Central West End Savings and Loan Association and the West End Arts Council. Gene Hoefel, 6100 McPherson, as well as Bill Kohn were two of one hundred St. Louis artists whose work was selected for an exhibition in the St. Louis Globe Democrat building entitled “Art St. Louis.” This show was a major highlight of the St. Louis Arts Festival. Gene has another reason to be proud.
He was recently made a full professor at the Washington University School of Fine Arts. Seth Carlin, 6100 Kingsbury, an accomplished pianist and another Washington University professor gave a Beethoven concert last month at the Edison Theater. What a talented neighborhood we have. World travelers Karleen and Tom Hoerr, 6100 Kingsbury, returned last month from a two week European trip to Rome and London, which they enjoyed tremendously. Tom is the director of New City School, 5209 Waterman. Karleen is a real estate agent at Feinberg, as well as the president of the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council.
She was recently featured in an article in the March 21 issue of the West End Word describing her community leadership. Karleen confided, however, that she felt the picture of her and Tom in last month’s issue of the Times was a better likeness. Also traveling to Europe last month were Marvin Nodiff, Marcia Kerz, and Marcia’s sister—Clare Kerz, 6100 Westminister. Their trip included Italy and Austria. Jane and Jim Geer, 6100 Kingsbury, made a European trip in April to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Jim’s business.
They visited London, Amsterdam, and Paris.
While in London, they planned to visit Dan Shea and Kathleen Williams who are spending a year in London.
We welcome to the neighborhood Tim and Janice Barthalow who live in 6000 Kingsbury. Tim works at Barnes Hospital and will be attending medical school. Janice works in early childhood education.
We also welcome the returning business of Cal and Gee Stuart—McPherson Management—who returned to Rosedale at 6008 Kingsbury from the 5700 block of Waterman. Cal and Gee live in 6100 Kingsbury.
Congratulations to the Curley family. James Ross Curley was born on March 12 just ten minutes prior to midnight (Why do they always want to arrive in the middle of the night?) to John and Cindy Curley, 6100 Kingsbury, at Barnes Hospital.
The new arrival weighed nine pounds and two ounces. James Ross is the baby brother of Nina Curley who is two and a half. Cindy had recently started an interior design business—Insides. John is a staff reporter for the Wall Street Journal.
Our deepest condolences to the Reverend Samuel Binch on the recent loss of his mother. Mr. Binch is the pastor at Delmar Baptist Church.
We regret to report the imminent retirement of Betty Klinefelter, 6100 Kingsbury, from Grace Preschool. Neighborhood residents will be happy to learn, however, that she is not retiring from her work in Scouting or other neighborhood activities.
The redevelopment firm of McCormackBaron has a new site supervisor in Matt Gorman. Mark lives in the 6100 block of Waterman. Attention softball players over thirty, the Battlin’ Beagles’ 1985 season is about to begin.
For those of you who are new to the neighborhood (or maybe just reaching that magic age of the BIG three 0), the Beagles are sponsored by St. Roch’s and play on Friday evenings.
Last year’s season was more successful than not and everyone had a great time. Call Brad Weir if you are interested, 863-7558.
