Not only does the neighborhood have a new spring look, but a couple of the residents do too.
The neighbors have been wondering what really happened to Tom Hoerr, 6100 Kingsbury, and Johnny Sims, 6100 Westminster, and who were those two slim guys who had suddenly taken. their places.
But never fear, it’s the real Tom and Johnny after all, just less twenty-five pounds each.
To start off the 1983 Rosedale Baby Boom, we have a newborn resident on 6100 Kingsbury.
A baby boy was born at home to parents Barbara Lundgren and Stephen Eaker, at 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 7.
He weighed in at 8 pounds and 4 ounces and was 211/4″ long.
His parents have named him Quinn.
Congratulations to the Lundgren-Eaker family. Sandy Price and her son Daniel, 6100 Westminster, took a special trip to Chicago in late February.
For his second birthday Daniel was treated to the trip. via Amtrak. Sandy and Daniel visited her family and attended a wedding while in Chicago.
They were joined by Sandy’s husband Rohn for the return drive home.
Mary Powell, 6100 Westminster; at the time of this writing, is enjoying skiing and vacationing at Lake Tahoe with several others from her office. Neighbors on 6100 Pershing are hoping to see Margaret Campbell fully recovered from her recent illness.
They enjoyed meeting Margaret’s mother, however, who was staying with her during that time. Bill and Ann FitzGibbons. have purchased a building in 6000 Kingsbury and have been .renovating.
They will be living on the first floor and plan to rent the upstairs. Bill and Ann sold their home on 6100 Pershing to Ann’s brother, Andy McKerrow. Besides the renovation work, Bill FitzGibbons has been very busy professionally, designing a sculpture to be featured in a performance of the Off Track Dancers.
The performance, entitled “Light, Motifs,” will . be presented at the Art Museum April 9 and 10. Bill is also one of 25 sculptors selected to participate in the 100th anniversary celebration of the Brooklyn Bridge. sponsored by the Pride Institute and the Bureau of Brooklyn.
He will be traveling there in late April to begin work on a sculpture to be part of a May exhibition located in the parks on either side of the Brooklyn Bridge. Yours truly is taking off at the end of March for a week in what used to be called “sunny California.” This will be a visit with a dear friend as well as a vacation. Just hope there is some of California which hasn’t been washed away by that time. Mark your calendar for the Rosedale Neighborhood Association meeting on April 14, 7:30 p.m., at Scariot Hall, St. Roch’s Church.
And for those who are beginning spring cleaning, you can start gathering items for the Rosedale “Rags to Riches” rummage sale, set for June 11, a Saturday.
A chairman and committee members are needed. Contact Ann FitzGibbons at 862-5122 or Karleen Hoerr at 862-5071. Time to get out and get those vegetables planted. Happy spring!
