June is the month of passages and we have a slew of them to report this month. Baby Thomas Charles Hamilton, hereafter to be called “Charlie,” joined the world on May 6, too late for our last deadline.
His new parents, Tricia and Lou Hamilton of the 6100 block of Kingsbury announced his arrival with a replica of the birth announcement used by his grandfather (Thomas Charles) in announcing the birth of his first son. Our neighborhood high school and college graduates are numerous this month.
I apologize to anyone who has been left out, but you’ve got to let me know these things!
I also regret not having room to print the names of all the parents of our graduates, who deserve congratulations and recognition for their part in these achievements. Graduating from St. Louis U. High this year are David Gioia, 61XX Kingsbury, who is bound for Webster University, and David Gerard, Westgate, headed for Loyola Marymount in California. Bishop DuBourg graduated John Breun, 61XX McPherson, Carrie Hinkebein, 62XX Washington. John is bound for Purdue University. Carrie is going on to St. Louis Community College. Tony Stewart of 61XX Westminster received his diploma from Clayton High and will be continuing his education at Florissant Valley Community College. Tanya Webber, 57XX Pershing, and Lynn Weir, 61XX Westminster were graduated from Metro High School. Lynn will attend Washington University and Tanya will attend the University of Missouri at Columbia. Christine Burke, 61XX McPherson, and Renee Ducker, 61 XX Kingsbury, graduated from Rosati-Kain.

Laura Horner, 62XX Westminster, and Molly Fleener, 63XX Waterman, will take diplomas from St. Joseph’s Academy.

After many years and innumerable trips to Forest Park and Flo Valley Community College, Sylvia Stahl is finally getting her Associate’s Degree in Child Care her husband Mike reports. At the recent Crossroads School Awards Night, New City School alum Sarah Reading (daughter of New City School teacher, Sally Boggeman; they both live on 61XX Washington), an I 1th grader, received a College Book Award from Wellesley College. Sarah also received an Upper School Math Award and Senator Danforth’s “I Dare You” Leadership Award. Sally Boggeman and Carla Mash (6OXX McPherson, another NCS teacher) presented, along with Dr. Thomas R. Hoerr, the New City implementation of the theory of Multiple Intelligences at Harvard Project Zero in February•. Project Zero is the “think-tank” in which Howard Gardner our own Tom Hoerr and others work.
Also in May, Crossroads had a benefit at the Black Repertory Theatre which netted them almost $15,000!
