The November meeting of the Rosedale Neighborhood Association was held on Nov. 19 at Scariot Hall. Those in attendance enjoyed coffee, tea and an array of delicious desserts, but the highlight of the evening was listening to Marj Weir. Marj, 6100 Westminster, shared recollections as past president of the St. Louis School Board, and discussed some of her forecasts for the future of public education in St. Louis. Rosedale regretfully accepted the resignation of Roy Bell as north-end representative to the Community Council. Steve Niewoehner, 6100 Westminster, will be replacing Roy and Paul Kurtz, 6000 Washington, will replace Steve as the alternative representative.
Look for some exciting upcoming events for Rosedale in the spring, such as an evening at Shaw’s Garden and a boat trip on the Huck Finn.
The holiday season was quite busy for most of us. Arline and Richard Webb, 6100 Pershing, were visited by Richard’s parents all the way from Phoenix.
They really enjoyed visiting with Erica, their only grandchild. Roy Henry, 6100 Pershing, delighted his neighbors once again this year with his dazzling display of Christmas lights. Roy really goes to a lot of effort and next year everyone will have to go by and enjoy it.
We welcome to the neighborhood Allan Mense, 6000 Washington. Allan, formerly of Washington, D.C., is Senior Scientist— Fusion Science at McDonnell-Douglas Astronautics Co.
The neighbors at 6100 Westminster were dismayed to hear that Steve and Marjie Brammeier were moving in February. That is until they learned that the move is only taking them to 6100 Kingsbury. Steve and Marjie have two sons, Ben and Joey.
When he is not doctoring and caring for neighborhood pets at the Kingsbury Animal Hospital, Steve is also the president of the Rosedale Neighbors Association. Pat Dennis and her son, Phil, also made a move within the neighborhood when they left 6100 Pershing to move to 6100 Waterman.
A speedy recovery is wished for Judy Vinson, 6100 Westminster, who has recently had surgery. Oscar Klinefelter is still recovering from his surgery, as reported last month.
Since then, however, his wife Betty was down with pneumonia. Their neighbors at 6100 Kingsbury hope to see them both back on their feet quite soon. Maria Gioia, 6100 Kingsbury, and Ray Breun, 6100 McPherson, along with Barbara Dorris of Parkview are working together on the writing of a constitution for St. Roch’s Church.
This will be a huge investment of time and work on their part and we wish them much success. We’re already looking ahead to spring and that means Girl Scout cookies. Orders are being taken until Feb. 7, with delivery in March. Rita Magyar is serving as cookie chairman this year.
If you have not been called on, you can still phone your order to your favorite scout. Sincerest sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Fannie Young, 6100 Waterman, on her recent death, and especially to her children, Sybil Westfall, Karen Spencer and Kevin Young, as well as her ten grandchildren.
It is consoling to know that friends and neighbors on Waterman offered so much assistance to the family during that time.
