Historical October 1993 article. Dates, prices, services and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Been wondering where this column’s been? Partially because of a plethora of other material and partially because of my own lack of time, Vicissitudes hasn’t appeared since May.
There is much catchingup to do. Lucy Griesbach. daughter of Margaret (Peggy) Hermes of the 6100 block of Kingsbury. was Valedictorian of her class at Rosati-Kain. Crossroads School on DeBaliviere reports that Seniors Jeremy Bender and Emily Crowe have been named 1994 National Merit Scholarship Semi-Finalists and that Bevin Fahey-Vomberg, Teresa Mithen, and Jason Pargo were named as Commended Students. Jason Pargo is also a Semi-Finalist in the 1994 National Achievement Scholarship Program, a privately-financed competition for Black Americans. Earlier in the year The Times reported that the St. Roch’s Sixth Grade Girls’ Basketball team had taken the City-County CYC Championship in their age group.
They went on to compete in the Show Me Games in Columbia. Congratulations to our young achievers. Last April Marvin Nodiff married Linda Hammond.
They will reside on 61 XX Westminster with Linda’s daughter, Monica.
On September 24. Chanaya Vatcha married Mark Jacobs just as we informed you they would earlier in the year!
The bride’s mother, JoAnn Vatcha• gets special mention for making both bridesmaid’s dresses. Ask her for the special details! David and Muriel Pan have joined us in the 60XX block of Kingsbury and one block west the Burton Family – Patricia. Kenneth. Brandon and Nichols have moved in.
On 6100 Westminster. Elsie Listrom has made her new home and on nearby 60XX Westminster. Jerry Minton has settled in. Welcome to them all. Charlie Mongo of the 6100 block of Westminster had quadruple bypass surgery, which we learned of just as we go to press. Best wishes to him and his family. Thomas R. Hoerr. PhD, was quoted in a July issue of Newsweek in an article on creativity in connection with his collaboration with another writer. (Yes. it’s the same Tom Hoerr!) It didn’t make Newsweek that he and his first wife Karleen narrowly missed getting towed in the infamous Metrolink parking lot debacle in August.
They had just returned to the Forest Park (DeBaliviere and F.P. Expressway) from Union Station on the light rail.
As they approached the spot where they had left their car, they found it in the earliest stage of being attached to the tow truck.
They were barely able to escape. Five more minutes and they, too, would have been $188 lighter. Send your news to Marj Weir, 6120 Westminster, or call 863-7558.
