This month we start off with a bright neighborhood star, at a very young age! Anton Gudiswitz recently took a trip to Moberly, Misouri to participate in the Missouri State Geography Bee. Anton is in fourth grade at St. Roch School and won the school spelling bee.
He then had to pass a written exam to qualify for finals.
He was one of 103 finalists and only one of two fourth graders. Anton participated in the preliminary round but did not make it to the finals (this year).
He is already looking to the future and hopes to compete at the state level again! Anton is the son of Joe Gudiswitz and Ligaya Figueras of the 6000 block of Washington. Good luck Anton!
A big Skinker DeBaliviere welcome goes out to new neighbor Karen Lynch on the 6100 block of McPherson! And wedding bells will be ringing this year for Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council Vice President, Michael Noble. Michael popped the question in New Orleans on May 1st to Angie Ranson, and she said yes!
A fall wedding is planned. Michael, a judge in the City of St. Louis, resides on the 5700 block of McPherson.
A fall wedding is planned. Congratulation to Michael and Angie! Fans of Shakespeare and theater already know that the Shakespeare Festival is presenting Hamlet this year in Forest Park.
But did you know our own Andy Cross, of the 6000 block of McPherson, is adding his talents to the 2010 production? That’s right, Andy’s artwork will be part of the Shakespeare set. Andy also works on The Muny sets every summer.
The Shakespeare Festival runs from May 26 to June 20 and is free in Forest Park.
The SDCC Fundraising Committee is very busy with plans for the Dining Out for SDCC event on Tuesday, June 22nd and also for our 2nd Annual Homecoming.
This year the Homecoming will take place at Crossroads School on Saturday, September 25th. At press time, the committee was still working on a theme! Mark your calendars and keep your eyes open for that perfect thrift store find – it will be tough to beat some of the outfits worn last year! More information to follow. Sadly, Skinker DeBaliviere lost an old friend in April. Joe Botz, who with his late wife Bette, raised their seven children on the 6100 block of Kingsbury, passed away on April 19th. Joe and Bette were very active members of St. Roch and were married for 59 years. Our condolences go out to the entire Botz family.
As summer approaches, many of our neighbors are already planning their vacation plans.
