Congratulations to newlyweds Dan Feinberg and Susie Roach who were married last month.
Dan had recently purchased a home in Parkview, which is where the Feinbergs will be residing.
A belated congratulations to Mark and Mary Gorman who were married last spring.
The Gormans live on 6100 Waterman. New residents, Ken and Kathleen Cook, 6100 McPherson, who were introduced last month are now proud parents. Their daughter, Catherine Elizabeth, was born on September 17, weighing six pounds, fifteen ounces and measuring 19½ inches long.
Many neighbors are still talking about their late summer-early autumn vacations.
Mary and Peter Schmit, 6100 McPherson, had a “great escape” with their seven-day inland waterways cruise to Alaska.
They flew to Anchorage and boarded their ship which then cruised Alaska and wound up at Vancouver.
Even though it rained a lot and was quite chilly, they thoroughly enjoyed the cruise which provided lots of food, entertainment and gambling. Peter’s brother and sister-inlaw accompanied them on the trip.
The “high” light of the trip was a helicopter ride to the top of a glacier.
Following the cruise, they drove the Cascade Loop through Washington State and visited Whidbey Island.
Speaking of Alaska, it was also the vacation spot for Peggy Hermes, 6100 Kingsbury. Peggy spent a couple of weeks there visiting friends in Bethel and camping in the mountain lakes. Paul, Paula and Reeve Repetto, 6100 Kingsbury, vacationed in Wyoming.
They stayed at C.M. Ranch in DuBois and also visited Jackson Hole. Katie Kurtz, Times editor, her husband Paul and baby son, Jim have just returned from their vacation to Richmond and Virginia Beach, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
They visited relatives and took it easy sunning and relaxing. Neighbors are hoping for a speedy recovery for both Phyllis and Bob Towns, 6000 Washington. Both Phyllis and Bob were hospitalized recently. Neighbors and friends will certainly miss Ginny and Tom Klevorn, 6100 Washington, when they leave for Brussels this fall. Tom is being transferred there for two years by Monsanto. Fortunately, they are planning to return and are looking to rent their home, so we will have them back.
They are very busy packing and organizing, as well as taking French lessons. Tom Garnett, formerly of 6100 Washington, was also transferred recently. Tom has left St. Louis for Atlanta with AT. & T.
Congratulations to Bob Horner of Parkview, who became Vice-President of Hospital Sales for H.B.E. Corp. in early August. Hospital Building and Equipment Co. is in the business of hospital construction on a designbuild basis.
The 6100 and 6000 blocks of McPherson held a fall barbeque and block party on September 20. Initially planned by Judy Crees and Bill Davis, others who helped were: Dave Schmidt, Frank Burke, Kate Robinson, Mary Schmit and Ellen Lowenstein. Barricades blocked the street and there were games and prizes as well as good food and a great time.
Our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Charlotte Larson, 6200 Washington, who passed away recently.
A memorial get-together was held in her honor at the Lantern House on Delmar.
She is survived by a son, Paul. Deepest sympathies are also extended to the family of Henry Burgdorf, 6100 Pershing, who also died in August. Henry was the husband of Florence Burgdorf and the father of Arline Webb, also of 6100 Pershing.
