Neighbors have lost a dear friend and tireless worker for the Skinker DeBaliviere community. Longtime SDCC Board Member and Past President and King Commemoration Chair Jack Wright passed away on June 14 after a long illness.
His service and spirit will long be remembered by those with whom he worked in our community. St. Roch 5th Grader, Megan Manary, composed a 2 minute piece of music for the flute as part of a class assignment from her teacher, Regina Morris, and won an all-expense paid trip for two to Pittsburgh where her composition was performed at the Pittsburgh Philharmonic.
The contest was sponsored by the PBS program, Oscar’s Orchestra, and the National Music Educators Association.
As part of the event, Megan, her mother and brother, all participated in setting a new record for the largest orchestra performance for submission to the Guinness Book of World’s Records. Although Megan has played the recorder for four years and also plays the flute and harmonic dulcimer, she wants to be a scientist, perhaps a marine biologist, when she grows up. Folks on 57xx DeGiverville are sending best wishes to resident Tiffany Michelle Bryant.
On June 7, she graduated from Ladue High School.
She plans to join the U.S. Air Force in September and pursue studies in computer science. Tiffany is the daughter of Denise C. Bryant and granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Coneal.
