Historical November–December 1999 article. Dates, prices, services and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Thanks to the tireless efforts of Lois Schoemehl, Kathleen Williams, JoAnn Vatcha, Linda Nodiff, Julie Schoemehl, Sue Rothschild, Maggie Hart, and King Schoenfeld, and to the generosity of Peggy Droege and her parents Bob and Betty Renard in opening their lovely home, we had a wonderful party on November 6. Our celebration drew not only current residents, but many who have moved to other places in the St. Louis area, but who retain a special affection for the people and places of Skinker DeBaliviere. See the pictures on pages 7, 10, and 12.
