Rosedale is a very busy place and many of us are doing some very exciting things both professionally and otherwise. Dorothy Ilgen, 6000 Pershing, has recently been appointed Assistant Director for Programs of the Missouri Arts Council.
The Arts Council is a state agency, a division of the Department of Consumer Affairs, Regulations and Licensing, which allocates state and federal tax dollars to private not-for-profit and public arts programs around the state.
The Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council has recently been one of their recipients.
It is the responsibility of Dorothy and her staff to review applications for such funding.
This year they allocated $2.8 million before budget cuts. More news from the art community. Bill and Mary Christman and their daughter, Keene, have moved into the 6000 block of Kingsbury.
They purchased their house in July and were able to move in this August.
They are now living on the second floor, while Christman Studios occupies the first floor. Bill, along with three other employees, does all types of commercial art: general commercial sign painting, custom signs, small scale theatrical scenery, carved wood, sculptural effects, etc.
They are currently working on weather maps for the Channel 5 Noon News.
We now have two neighborhood residents who are teaching at Hamilton School. Karen Bynum, 6000 Pershing, joined the staff this year as a half-time kindergarten teacher. Ann McKerrow, 6100 Pershing, is in her second year at Hamilton, teaching art.
In early August, Sue Sante and her two sons packed up and moved from 6100 Pershing to Colorado where Sue’s brother lives.
She was recently seen visiting in town, however, and tells friends that she is working as a cook in a hunting lodge and loving every minute of it.
She is especially looking forward to doing some cross-country skiing this year. Roy Bell, 6100 Washington, has just begun an M.B.A. program at Washington University.
After his first night of class he looked a bit bedraggled and discouraged, but we know he will perservere and we wish him every success.
It is with deep regret that we report the death in August of Helen Schmitt, the mother of Karleen Hoerr, 6100 Kingsbury, and Jan Kuhl, 6100 McPherson. Also our deepest sympathy to Liz and Lee Hall, 6000 Kingsbury, on the death of their son, Peter.
A speedy recovery is wished for Jeanette Aron, 6000 Westminster, who was injured in the foot by a freak accident involving a stray bullet from an unknown source.
She is a student at Soldan.
A hearty congratulations to Kitty Buckley, 6000 Westminster, for receiving the Skinker-DeBaliviere Home Improvement Award.
This award and a $50 certificate will be presented by the Central West End Savings and Loan, to one home each fall, winter and spring.
The decision is made by a committee of residents and is based solely on exterior improvements. Kitty has spent many hours on her lawn, both front and back, and says she really enjoys it.
She has approximately 100 geraniums planted around her house!
If you have a nomination for the next award, contact a committee member: Joe Botz, Anna Busch, Beverly Taylor, Sam Green, or Linda Thomas.
Congratulations also go to Camillia Brice, 6100 Washington, who successfully organized the August 28th Talent Show at Delmar Baptist.
The “stars” were all neighborhood children.
On August 23rd, the annual Kingsbury Float Trip took place.
The stalwart crew, consisting of the Hoerrs, Stuarts, Laurenz’s, McFarrons and the Eakers, set out at 8 a.m. for the Courtier River with seven canoes.
No major spills or accidents befell any of their numbers, so upon returning home they gathered at Steve and Barb Faker’s for a barbeque and further merriment.
They all had a terrific time.
