Yes, Virginia, there is a Bill Horner.
He was seen by several eye witnesses over the holidays.
This rare and unusual sighting took place at the home of our esteemed editor and her husband, Katie and Paul Kurtz, who were heard to exclaim, “We can’t believe it happened to us.” Congratulations to Clare Kerz, 6100 Washington, who works at Child Center of Our Lady. Clare was made Director of Education for the center in December.
The center serves children who are emotionally disturbed. Marjie Brammeier, 6100 block of Westminster, has been named top salesperson for 1985 at newSPACE Closet Interiors, 1825 Belt Way Drive. Marjie has sold and designed over 1000 closets in the past year. Much of her business is referral and repeat business from Central West End clients. Congrats and best wishes to Rick and Shirley Wilt.
The Wilts were married in the Carribbean over Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, they have left 6100 McPherson, and are currently living in Crestwood.
Welcome to the neighborhood to the Lloyd family.
The Lloyds are new to 6100 Westminster.
Although they need no welcome, neighbors were pleased to learn that Jan and John Pitts have purchased another home on 6100 McPherson, which they are renovating.
A returning welcome back to Dee Vossmeyer who has returned to Rosedale, also purchasing a home on 6100 McPherson. Dee is an attorney and has a son, Rob. Susan Fay, 6100 Kingsbury, was in New York on business in December. Susan attended a booking convention, where she represented the MidAmerica Dance Co., for whom she is company manager. Immediately upon her return, she and her husband, David and daughter, Miranda, traveled to Michigan to spend the holidays with her family.
The McPherson block club celebrated the holidays by having a block party.
The party was held at the home of Bill Davis and Judy Cress. Tom and Karleen Hoerr, 6100 Kingsbury, spent part of their holidays in London.
They were there for the ringing in of the New Year.
Speaking of Tom, he is the only one still asking, “Who wrote that exceptionally clever and witty “Vicissitudes” in December?” The true identity of the mystery writer “J” (or was it “K”?) was more than apparent to most of all of my regular readers. That classic style was difficult to disguise, even though the writer was for once able to put aside his (or her) usual tonguein-cheek frivolity for some serious journalism. How refreshing!
In the local heroes department, a betterlate-than-never hats off to Curtis Doyle, 6100 Westminster. Curtis helped to rescue the woman who lost control of her car, plunging it into a lagoon in Forest Park early last fall. Curtis and his wife Lora, were walking their dog when they saw the accident and Curtis jumped into the water.
And while we’re on the subject of local heroes, perhaps some of you saw the item in the January first Post Dispatch, about the 75 year-old grandmother who chastised the two robbers who ransacked her south-side apartment, tied her up and stole $65.
Her name is Grace Klevorn, and if that last name sounds familiar, it should. Grace is the grandmother of Tom Klevorn, 6100 Washington. St. Roch is hosting a Betty Klinefelter Day on February 9th.
A nice tribute for a very deserving lady. Betty lives at 6100 Kingsbury,
