Gregory Weir, who grew up on the 6100 block of Westminster, son of Brad and TIMES stalwart Marj Weir, will be married on February 23, 2002, to Diana Schutte. Greg is currently studying at the Art Institute of Chicago; Diana is a web designer and also a graphic artist. Best wishes to all the Weirs!
The Board of Directors of THE TIMES is especially sorry to be saying farewell to a past TIMES Editor Sue Rothschild and husband Sandy, long-time neighbors.
The good news is that they’re moving only a short distance away. Best of luck to the Rothschilds, who have contributed so much to the neighborhood’s success. Greg Freeman, of the 5700 block of DeGiverville, has recently returned to work at KWMU and the Post-Dispatch, happily for all of us who enjoy his work.
We hope his health continues to improve. Happy news from Washington D.C. Melissa and Marc Smith announced the birth of their first child, a girl, named Georgia Archer, born December 2, 2001. Melissa is the daughter of Richard and Venita Lake, of the 5800 block of Waterman. Congratulations to parents and grandparents! Congratulations are due, too, to Christina and Sean McGroarty, of the 6100 block of Westminster, who’ve added a second child, Brendan Dwyer, born October 2, 2001, joining 2-year-old big brother Charley and grandparents Charley and Mary Fleener. New neighbors this winter include N Patricia and Robert Biel, who have moved to the . 6100 block of Westminster. Welcome to the neighborhood! Crossroads School reports that Monica Hammond has been selected for the Missouri Fine Arts Academy, a 3-week residential program for 200 of Missouri’s artistically talented students on the campus of Southwest Missouri State University. Proud mom is Linda Nodiff.
There is sad news to report as well, with November 26, 2001, passing of Joy Berry, who was barely 43 years old.
Her fight with lupus went on for many years, but she still had a marvelous smile and a personality that made her name the perfect one.
We extend our condolences to mom Gwen and all of her family, who’ve lived on the 6100 block of Westminster for nearly 30 years and friends.
