Historical April 1981 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
In the flurry of political excitement and the usual spring rush, a few important events may have been overlooked.
The residents of the 5700 block of DeGiverville will be delighted to learn that Bertha Hughes will be married this May to Jesse Moore of New York, N.Y.
The couple will live in the Big Apple where Bertha will be working for Gamolorie Shoe Co. on Fifth. Avenue, no less.
We wish her happiness, but we will miss her. Mark Faulkner of the 5700 block of Pershing is a newlywed.
He and his wife Ann will live in Greece where he is stationed with the Air Force.
Congratulations to Ann and Mark on their marriage. Greece sounds like a great place for a honeymoon! Melvin Hughes is in Spain now, but will be stationed in Virginia not far from his mother’s new home in New York. Cousin Michael is following in Melvin’s Navy footsteps and will do his tour of duty in Japan. Staying home and doing a significant amount of work on their house are the McElroys.
They are expecting a new baby this April. Their neighbors, Naomi and Andrew Topps had a baby boy February 20th, weighing 7 lbs. 11 ozs.
They are very proud parents. You may remember Mr. Topps from the front page of the Post Dispatch.
A man was caught red-handed by the police trying to steal his tire and claimed he was doing it because he was hungry. Mr. Topps gave him $5 and asked that the man be set free.
We can see that new baby has quite a daddy.
It will surprise no one to hear that George Storey is very active in the Forest Park Men’s Golf Association, an organization of great reknown and longevity, having its origins in 1900.
He has recently been elected Treasurer and would be pleased to have other neighbors join him in the fun.
The men meet on Thursday evening and play golf on Saturday and Sunday and probably a few other days if George has anything to do with it.
Another sports enthusiast, Debbie Busch has won a first place trophy from the AAU League at Marquette Recreational Center and her sister Karen’s basketball team at Fontbonne College came in third place in the St. Louis Area College Athletic Association’s tournament held at Maryville College.
The Busch girls are at it again! Frances Stadler, a resident of sixteen years and former WHN board member, retired last year from her position as archivist at the Historical Society which she held for 23 years.
She was also Acting Director of the Society from 1977 to 1978.
We didn’t know she was retired because she continued to edit the Society’s Bulletin until this summer. Now she reports that she enjoys “doing nothing” except a few hours of volunteer work now and then.
We suspect she will find this time just as rewarding as she has found previous years in the neighborhood.
Welcome to new residents Denise Davis and her son Marquis of the 5700 block of DeGiverville. Tom Reel, son of longtime residents Blanche and Alton Reel, has recently become an associate with Feinberg Realty.
This month Feinberg is opening a residential sales branch at 5707 Waterman.
The branch will be open seven days a week. You can call 367-6100 or drop in for a cup of coffee: – And if this article seems only half finished, you’re exactly correct.
