I used to think that the most humiliating thing that could happen to a Journalist was getting scooped.
My predecessor in this column has given that art a new twist.
It all started when Sue Rothschild asked my wife if I’d be interested in writing this column. I talked to Sue a little bit, then I consulted with Lisa. I had pretty much made up my mind to do it, but first, I called Lisa again with some more questions.
She then informed me that word was already out on the street that I was going to write the column.
So I was scooped on the story of my own new job! Yup, Lisa Horner is gonna be a tough act to follow. I won’t try to fill her shoes—she’s quite petite and they’d pinch my feet something fierce. I can emulate her standards and this column will continue to be informative and fun for all of us. Jerry Berger had better watch out. Heidi and Bob Dowgwillo are expecting another baby.
This one is due on Halloween. Greg Schweitzer, the choirmaster at St. Roch’s, was so encouraged by the success of the Christmas concert last December that he has kept the group together to do more performances in the neighborhood during the year.
This Camerata Choir will do the Schubert Mass in G on May 21, at St. Roch.
This is a nonsectarian group, so anyone in the neighborhood is welcome to join. Greg is an equal opportunity exploiter and a fine musician. Rehearsals are on Tuesday nights at DuBourg High School. Call me for more information.
The Times received the following note from Helen Sanders, who has moved to Chandler, Arizona. “I am doing my best at keeping busy and caring for my mom. I miss the gang, think of past good times, love you all and miss the paper.
Please send it to me!’ We’re happy to oblige, and have Helen’s address for anyone who would like it.
Congratulations to Jim McLeod on his reappointment to the St. Louis County Youth Advisory Commission. Sorry the column is so skimpy this month; this whole thing fell together at the very last minute and I didn’t have time to fire up the old grape vine. We’ll have lots for you next time.
If you have a story, took a trip, had a baby, or anything else, please call me evenings at 727-0839. Help our grape vine continue to produce fine vintages.
