Welcome back, readers, after the long, hot summer.
We have quite a number of new neighbors to welcome to the area. Tom and Jackie Karsten are new on 6100 Washington, Tom runs the construction department at Pantheon. Jackie will be teaching art this year at St. Roch and Christ the King in University City.
They and their children, Tom Jr. and Jamie have lived in the area for several years, but this is their first time as city residents. Also new to 6100 Washington are James Louhr and Karen Presteguard. James is with the geology department at Washington University. Chuck and Debbie Larsen are new residents in 6100 Kingsbury.
They are both professors at U.M.S.L.; Chuck works for the English department and Debbie for the Center for Academic Development.
They have lived in the neighborhood prior to the purchase of their new home. Chuck’s son Drew Larsen spent much of the summer visiting with Chuck and Debbie. Jean Chouquette and Jerry Richardson are also new residents on 6100 Kingsbury.
They both work for a downtown law firm, Jean as a legal assistant, and Jerry as a labor attorney. Louisville, Kentucky, is the former home of Sharon and Phil Roberts.
The Roberts are renovating a home on 6100 Kingsbury. Phil is an artist who will have a studio in his new home and who does landscape painting on location as well. Sharon is a buyer for Famous Barr They have a daughter, Annie, who will be three this month. New neighbors in Parkview include: Jim and Kathy Merlo, 6300 Westminster; Terry and Rosemary Etter, 6300 Washington; and Kevin and Kate Horrigan, 6300 Pershing.
The Horrigans have two sons, and Kevin is the sports editor for the Post. New neighbors moving in always means that we have lost a few of the “old” familiar faces around the neighborhood.
Some of those you won’t be seeing anymore include: the Doggendorfs, the Eaker-Lundgrens, the Smythe-Libros, the Baileys, and the Mike Burkes. Vacations were the news all summer as well. Joan and Ray Breun and sons Ben and John, 6100 McPherson, took a two-week trip following the Sante Fe Trail. Highlights of their trip included Fort Union; Bent’s Fort, the missions in San Antonio and Capulan Mountain: They especially enjoyed their visits to San Antonio and Taos, New Mexico. Rose and Jim Flynn, 5900 Pershing, took a trip at the end of June to Wyoming for the wedding of a friend.
They really enjoyed this unexpected vacation without the children. Sally Boggemann and daughter, Sarah Reading, 6100 Washington, vacationed in Vermont early this summer.
They visited Sally’s parents who live there. Barbara and David Clewell, 6100 Pershing, took their annual trip to New York City.
There they really enjoyed shopping, and came home with many new treasures to add to their toy, book, and antique advertising collections. Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, was the vacation spot for Steve, Nita, and Charles Littlejohn, 6100 Kingsbury. Steve’s dad has a farm in Dover, so they were able to mix vacation with a family visit. Janice Kuhl and daughter, Beth, 6100 McPherson, spent their vacation in Michigan, as did Bill, Mary, and Sam Christman, 6000 Kingsbury.
On to more “worldly” travelers. Bill and Pat Kohn have returned to the neighborhood after a year’s stay in Spain.
The Kohns live in 6100 • Kingsbury. Tom and Karleen Hoerr, 6100 Kingsbury, traveled this summer to Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, as well as Munich and Vienna. Karleen went to Yugoslavia in search of her roots, but unfortunately she was unable to dig far enough.
The Fays were a bit luckier.
David and Susan Fay and daughter, Miranda, 6100 Kingsbury, vacationed in England and Scotland with Susan’s parents. Mr. Crichton, Susan’s dad, was able to meet some of his cousins for the first time in Scotland and actually discovered a village named Crichton in England.
This is an especially happy time for the Fays, who will be adding to their family in mid-February Congratulations to Ripley Rasmus and Elizabeth Trueblood, 6000 Kingsbury, on the recent addition to their family. Adam Albert Rasmus was born on June 19th weighing nine pounds and ten ounces.
A new offspring is also in the making at the Kurtz household.

Speaking of the Kurtz family, Paul has taken a position as senior claims analyst for Safety Mutual Insurance. Bill Horner was recently promoted to line haul manager at American Freight System. (That means DAYS; guys!!!) The Horners live at 6100 Westminster.
It was quite the shindig on August 16th for the new Monsignor Polizzi.

Attorney Marvin Nodiff, 6100 Westminster, was sent to Olympia, Washington, early this summer by the Conference on Uniform State Laws. Washington is now considering legislation regulating condominiums similar to that which was enacted by Missouri in 1983.
