Hello neighbors and happy new year.

I am probably not alone in feeling like 2022 is very much a continuation of the past couple of years, but holding out hope that brighter days are ahead for the entire world.

In the meantime, life moves forward and our neighbors have things to celebrate. So let’s catch up!

In the last issue I reported that Truman Stephens completed his masters in September.

His parents, Mike and Ann Stephens of the 6200 block of Waterman, were able to attend his graduation ceremony in London on December 14th. Truman received a masters in social policy from the London School of Economics. Congratulations Truman! Celebrations continued in Parkview as Rachel and Sean Ebeling reported their daughter Lucy graduated a semester early from the University of Missouri-Columbia Honors College on December 18.

She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Theater with a minor in Sociology, and plans to pursue a career in film or theater production. Congratulations to Lucy! One of our talented neighbors and resident authors received fabulous news in December. Margaret Hermes was informed her novel The Opposite of Chance (Delphinium) was named by the St Louis Post Dispatch as one of their 20 Favorite Books of 2021. Peggy is a long time resident of the 6100 block of Kingsbury. Here’s the link to the full list from the Post Dispatch. https://www.stltoday.com/entertainment/books-and-literature/20-of-our-favorite-new-books-from-2021-a-year-with-plenty-of-options/ collection_ef3c946c-d007-5c90-b165-9961b091b086.html Sounds like a good book to add to our reading lists this new year!
