The year has gone quickly since we reported on our local graduates and the time has come again.
There was a gratifying number of people who called to report their news and Tim Schoemehl once again came through with key information.
As a St. Louis University High grad this year himself, he was indeed well-informed.
This year’s SLUH grads also include John McGuire of 61XX Westminster and John Gotway of the 63XX block of McPherson. Tim is bound for Trinity University in San Antonio, John Gotway to Loyola University, and John McGuire to the University of Missouri. Mary Shaughnessy of 55XX Lindell has graduated from St. Joseph’s Academy and will attend.St. Louis University. Colleen Sullivan of 61XX Westminster also graduated from St. Joseph’s. Katie Mahon graduated from Incarnate Word and plans to attend the University of Missouri where she will study journalism. Two of the 39 1995 National Merit Scholarship winners from this area are from Parkview! Jared Rapfogel (63XX Washington) and Hope Edwards (63XX McPherson) each attained this distinction this year. Both have just graduated from John Burroughs and both will attend New York University. Jared plans to study film-making. Saundra Nicole Busch of 60XX Washington graduated this year from Soldan International Studies High School.
She has earned a full scholarship to Alabama A & M.
She is interested in computer science. Monica Vanicelli graduated from Rosati-Kain on May 22. Janelle Thompson of 59XX Pershing graduated from Cardinal Ritter Prep. Texans Vinson graduated from Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia on May 22 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology.
She will be entering graduate school this summer at the University of Florida in Gainesville to pursue a Ph.D. in psychology.
Her sister Rachel Vinson of 61XX Westminster graduated from Metro High School on May 26 and will attend Hampton University in Virginia.
Her current interest is in elementary education with a special interest in education for deaf children. Graduating from Georgetown University this year with a B.S. in Nursing is Christina Fleener of Parkview.
Her specialty is pediatric nursing and she is seeking a position in Washington, D.C., or St. Louis. John Rice of 61XX Westminster started off the summer with an appendectomy. He’s home and recovering well. Rick Bender of 61XX Kingsbury had a heart attack playing racquetball recently, but is doing just fine and is trying to take it easy.
We wish him a speedy recovery. Art Santen, collector extraordinaire and longtime resident of 61XX McPherson, was featured in late May on F/X, a cable channel, on a show devoted to collectors.
In connection with that appearance, the Riverfront Times ran a story and a picture about his extensive bottle opener and corkscrew collections. Art has committed his basement, or we should probably say rathskeller, to the display of his “keys to refreshment, ” which range from the comical to the priceless. Thanks to Sandy Rothschild for keeping this column in mind so often when he spies a good bit of information.
