One thing is for sure, it has been a very busy summer and as I write this column, I cannot believe it is coming to an end!
I have no doubt that many of you have also had busy, adventurous, and newsworthy summers. So please, be sure to drop me a line with your news and photos to share with the neighborhood. Many of our older or long time residents of the neighborhood certainly remember the Neill family from the 6100 block of Kingsbury. And many other neighbors and St. Louisans are certainly familiar with the many wonderful experiences they have had dining out at one of Eddie Neill’s restaurants. Well, good news folks, Eddie Neill has reopened The Dub-liner in Maplewood.
The new location is at 2733 Sutton Boulevard (not too far from Eddie’s childhood neighborhood!).
They say they have the have best Guinness Pour around, the best food and a friendly staff and that you’re always welcome at The Dubliner. So why not check it out!
On Wednesday, July 31, Sister Leo Ann Bub passed away. Sister Leo Ann was Principal of St. Roch School through the 60’s and 70’s.
She is remembered by longtime Skinker DeBaliviere neighbors as a fearless fighter for the children and neighborhood.
She worked closely with non-Catholic parents and lay teachers and led the other Sisters of St. Joseph–Sister Charles, Sister Dorothy, Sister Herbert, and others, who taught at the school during this challenging time of the neighborhood’s history.
She was principal when the school first opened to non-Catholics in 1970, a milestone for the Sisters and for the neighborhood. Sister Leo Ann’s life was celebrated at a memorial mass at Nazareth Living Center on Tuesday, August 6. Memorial donations may be given t the Sister of St. Joseph Retirement Fund, 6400 Minnesota Avenue, St. Louis, MO 63111. Our condolences go out to the family of Army Private Camryn Richard-son of the 6000 block of Kingsbury who was killed on July 3. Our sympathies are also extended to the family of former University City Police Department Detective Lee “Tom” Hall who passed away in July. Detective Hall grew up on the 6000 block of McPherson and served the City of University City for twenty years.
According to a post on the UCPD Facebook page, Detective Hall was a juvenile detective who had a heart for the youth. Do you have news to share?
