Vicissitudes

September 1978

A marvellously quiet summer, with little of the emergency-room-pizzaz of 1977, is coming to a close. Our attention has been drawn to the exciting sights and sounds of redevelopment to our east, and next month we will feature news of that area. Closer to home, there’s been little turmoil, but some nice new neighbors and new babies, and we’re sure some of you will spend the fall excitingly. The lazy days of summer never seem to last. In the meantime …

Welcome to new neighbors on the 6100 block of Kingsbury: Bill and Joyce Stone and their children Emily and Kevin. Bill is the new director of the International Institute, a most interesting position, dealing with people from all over the world. Joyce is also quite cosmopolitan, starting a new job as Spanish teacher in one of the Parkway high schools. The Stones have moved here from Boston.

The Tepas’ house on the 6100 block of McPherson was purchased this summer by Joe and Cynthia Domzalski, who have moved here from Alexandria, Virginia. Joe is the Residential Director of C.D.A. We hope to meet the Domzalskis soon.

New on Washington in Parkview are Ruth Ann and Michael Sauter, recently moved here from New York. And new to the Sauters is baby boy Ryan. Congratulations and welcome to the busy Sauters.

Congratulations, too, to Mike and Mary Burke, also of the 6200 block of Washington, who also had a summer baby, Michael David. Someday we’ll have to take a child count on that block; the results ought to be startling. A great place to be when laden with little ones, we’ve heard.

The 6100 block of Westminster not to be outdone — also has two new babies. In June, Dee and King Schoenfeld welcomed Jeremey. And the Schillers have a girl, Megan. Congratulations to all!

Our best wishes for a complete recovery go to Anna Busch, who has been in the hospital too much this summer. We hope she’ll soon be up and as active as her daughter Debbie, who just won a tennis tournament!

Our favorite plant and flower place — “Accent with Flowers” has expanded and moved across and down the street, to 6175 Delmar (that much closer to us!). It’s a fine shop, with lovely things, and we wish them continued success in their new, larger facilities.

All of us were saddened by the passing of Mrs. Chris Wright, long-time resident of the 5800 block of Pershing, and wife of SDCC’s President Jack Wright. We extend our sympathy to Jack and their children. Chris’s warmth and good humour were shared with many, and she will be missed.
