Vicissitudes

March 1991

Historical March 1991 article. Dates, prices, services and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

By the time you read this, most of the fighting in Kuwait/Iraq could be over. But, even if we ”win” very quickly, it will be some time before all of our troops get pulled back.

While they’re there, we at the Times would like to recognize those neighborhood families who have someone over there. I’m making the list.

If you have someone over there, or you know of someone in the neighborhood with someone over there, please let me know before March 15. Simply call 727-0839 and leave a message on the tape.

I need to know the person’s name, what street he or she lives on, and what relationship there is to local residents.

I could also use information on rank, branch of service, organization, and service specialty. Remember, your neighbor may not see this article, or may forget to call. Good news from Kingsbury Animal Clinic.

Dr. Mary Ann Balser has joined the staff there.

Her presence allows the clinic to significantly expand its service offerings.

On May 19, the St. Louis Walk of Fame in the loop will induct more famous St. Louisans.

On The Law Enforcement Front Lotsa new names. Captain Wayne Brocato is the new 7th District Commander. Lt. John Podolak has just arrived on the scene as a Watch Commander. Lt. Audrey Lee, one of only two female lieutenants in the entire Police Department, is the new Relief Commander.

All of this information is courtesy of Sgt. John Harper, the new supervisor of B Platoon, which covers the SDCC area. Officer Jerald Barnes, who has been in this column before, has been recognized again.

He has been chosen—by his peers— as Officer of the Year in the 7th District.

He will receive this award at a banquet at the Hyatt Union Station on March 19. Rita Majors (4XX Westgate) is in Japan, visiting her children. Bob Hinkebein (62XX Washington) is a new grandfather, thanks to his daughter Ann. Hitch Powell (61XX Westminster) is graduating in March with an MIS degree. Jan Hollenbaugh is the new intern at SDCC headquarters, while she works on her Political Science degree from UMSL. Stout Hearts And Sweethearts Dept Bea Stout (61XX McPherson) was the Homecoming Queen at SLU this year. Consie Hitchcock of 61XX McPherson was a member of the Court. Must be something in the water around here… Mixing beauty with brains, Bea was also elected Academic VP of the SLU student government. Father Ed Stout has been selected for the third year in a row as National Chairman for Victims Rights Week, April 21- 27.

In the meantime, mother Bea is in the City Players production of Woman Without a Name, which opens April 19, at the Coronado Hotel.
