Historical September 1988 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Congratulations to Dee and Gary Hayes, and to Dee’s son Rob, 6100 McPherson, on the recent addition of the newest member of their family, Elena Christine. Elena, three months, joined the Hayes family in Mexico on July 2, and they brought her home on July 12.
The family then traveled east for a vacation in Virginia.
Congratulations also to Nancy and Randy Bailey, 5800 Waterman, on the birth of their third child, a son, Clayton Allstan. Clayton was born on August 13.
The 6100 block of Kingsbury saw at least three graduates from St. Louis University. Rachel Bender, Rachel DiLorenzo, and Christiane Leguey-Feilleux each received her B.A. last spring. — Air Force Major Mary Flynn, daughter of John and Gerry Flynn, has been decorated with the fourth award of the Meritorious Service Medal at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois.
The Flynns live on 6100 McPherson. Peter and May Schmit, 6100 McPherson, took an August vacation to Irish Lake in, northern Indiana, where Peter’s brother has a cabin.
From there they went on to Chicago, to meet Blandine Fremaux, their new French foreign exchange student from Reims. Blandine, 18, will be staying with Peter and Mary for the entire school year and is planning to attend Beaumont High School this fall.
She will be there under the “fatherly” care of Peter who is a faculty member. Daughter of the manager of a small champagne business and an accountant, Blandine comes to St. Louis with the goal of meeting as many new people as she possibly can.
Her interests include music, horses, languages, computers, and skiing.
She comes to our area through the International Student Exchange of Iowa (ISE), which was recently re-located in St. Charles.
There are, of course, other vacations to report. Bob Wiltenberg, Candace O’Connor and daughters, Mary and Catherine (6100 Kingsbury), vacationed in the New York area in July. Mary, as you may know, has been a faithful helper to Mary Ann Shickman at the Kingsbury Kiosk library. Prior to their vacation, Mary was treated to a little party at the Kiosk celebrating her 12th birthday and, unfortunately, her “retirement” from her job as “assistant librarian.” Tom and Karleen Hoerr, 6100 Kingsbury, were lucky enough to be able to enjoy another European vacation—this time in Switzerland.
The Horners (that’s the Bill Horners) won the “Insane Parents of the Summer” award.
We traveled, by car, to Maine with a two and a four-year old.
It was great and the cool weather there made it well worth the effort. Rocco and Gabrielle DiLorenzo and family, 6100 Kingsbury, went to Washington, D.C. for quite a special celebration. Their daughter, Carrie, a medical illustrator, was married to Alan Jeffries at historic St. Peter’s Church. Carrie’s parents describe it as a “do-ityourself” wedding, to which everyone was able to contribute.
The rings were made by the groom. Carrie and her sisters picked the ‘ flowers and made the corsages, and family members participated in the wedding ceremony.
The reception, held on a farm in Virginia, featured food grown and harvested by Carrie herself and prepared by the farm workers and the DiLorenzo girls.
Some of our number have left us this summer and we bid them adieu: Judy Buch, 6100 Westminster, has relocated in Illinois; Paul and Paula Repetto and son Reeve, 6100 Kingsbury, have moved out west to L.A.; and the Andreottis, formerly of Parkview, have moved to Hannibal, Missouri, where they are running a bed and breakfast. Leland and Melva Ware, and son Leland Jr., 6100 Westminster, have moved also, but happily they have not left the neighborhood.
They are relocated in Parkview.
Some new neighbors will be introduced here next time. Friends and neighbors are pleased to note the recuperation of three neighborhood residents who were hospitalized this summer: Jo Ann Vatcha, 6100 Westminster, Sam Green, 6100 Westminster, and Mary Bea Stout, 6100 McPherson. Marian Davis and Taulby Roach are new agents in the Feinberg Real Estate office. Marian and her family live in Kingsbury Square. Taulby is the son of Susie Roach Feinberg and John Roach. Marjorie Weir, 6100 Westminster, has a new position with Custom Computer Service in Clayton. Marj is doing programming analyzing software, supervising programming assistants, etc. Don’t you have a vacation, graduation, promotion, new job or new baby to share with your neighbors?
We are waiting to hear from you. You won’t see it here unless you TELL US!
