Illness has touched several of our neighbors this summer. Westminster resident Gwen Shields had a long stretch in the hospital, and her son, Aaron, is also recovering from illness. Neighbor to the west Iva Allen had a broken bone to mend. Parkview neighbor Mary Fleener is recuperating from major surgery.
We hope to see her visiting grandchildren on Westminster or busy at Feinberg selling real estate very soon. Always ready for a major challenge, Lu Green, of the 6100 block of Westminster, has taken on a new job as Director of Major Gifts for the Missionary Oblates at our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, after more than a decade as Development Director/VP of the Lutheran Family and Children’s Services. Congratulations to a woman who’s done it all, beautifully. Deepest sympathy to the family of SDCC Board Member Ronnie Halliburton on the loss of Mrs. Freddie Halliburton, aged 91.
The block unit at 58-5900 Pershing is getting quite active.
The unit is now represented on the SDCC and has organized trash pick-ups during the summer.
The unit is working with Alderman Krewson to attempt to slow traffic on Pershing and keep kids safe.
There is a new stop sign at Laurel and Pershing and a sign to watch out for kids. Several years ago, Georgi Fox had no grandchildren. Then, her daughter Genny gave birth to Luke. Last year, Genny and her husband had twin girls, Grace and Claire. Georgi made several trips to the Far East to see her growing family. Genny’s husband is now based in Singapore.
This August a grandchild close to home appeared. Georgi’s son, Alex, and his wife, Maria, have a beautiful little girl named Hannah. Mazel tov all around. Alex and Maria lived in Skinker DeBaliviere after their marriage and Georgi has been here since the mid-1960s.
