In recounting his experience in Oklahoma City (See page 3), Ed Stout modestly omitted the fact that he was recently awarded the Judith Compere Award for his commitment to the improvement of treatment of crime victims.

We congratulate him on this welldeserved recognition. Tim Schoemehl, Times correspondent and resident of 61XX Westminster, was one of only 30 high school seniors selected to receive an Archbishop John L. May Service Award in April.

The award honors seniors “who have shown extraordinary volunteer achievement in their school, community and beyond.” Great job, Tim! It’s a month full of awards to report. Mary Vincent Seager of 61XX Waterman, a professor in the Reading Department at Florissant Valley Community College, was presented the David L. Underwood Memorial Lecture Award.

She is the 20th recipient of the Award. Nancy Epp and Paul Hohman have moved to the 6100 block of Westminster. Welcome! One of my favorite neighbors has been at the Barnes Extended Care facility on Brentwood in Clayton for several months. Betty Klinefelter, longtime resident of 61XX Kingsbury, has been residing there since she was injured in a fall last summer.

I understand she may be moving to New Mexico permanently in the near future. Marty Cross, son of John and Jane Cross, of 61XX Kingsbury, who now lives in a carriage house on Portland Place, is celebrating with other St. Roch’s “Bird Dogs” and their coach, Tom McPherron.

They just won a basketball championship in the Catholic Senior League. St. Roch’s brings out the sport in us, I guess. Notice the stories on St. Roch’s girls elsewhere in this issue. Thanks to Frank and Flossie Driscole whose donation of a waxer has greatly smoothed our layout efforts! Next month: GRADUATES! Let me know your news!
