Historical February 1985 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Bet you didn’t know that we have the St. Louis Trivial Pursuit Champion in our midst. Roy Bell, 6100 Kingsbury, was a member of the winning team in the citywide competition held at Westport Plaza. Roy, his father and two of his brothers, the only family team, were sponsored by Tipton and won among other things a trophy and a dinner at Casa Gallardo.
The proceeds went to charity. Marcia Kerz, 6100 Westminster, must be feeling pretty proud. Marcia was the manager for the Harriet Woods campaign for Lieutenant Governor.
Mrs. Woods was the only Democrat elected to statewide office in November.
The neighborhood Christmas Walk got neighbors and visitors out in the delightful weather on Dec. 16.
It was a neat opportunity to see other homes and Christmas decorations.
Speaking of visiting. some former neighbors were seen around the neighborhood over the holidays. Bill Keslar and Sandy Baker were visiting old friends on 6100 Kingsbury while staying with Jerry and Claudia Lawrenz. Sandi and Rohn Price were seen strolling down their old block chatting with old neighbors and friends.
They were only able to stay long enough for a brief visit and dinner with their friends, Jane and Jim Geer and family, 6100 Kingsbury, before returning to their new home in Richmond, Virginia.
We heard that our alderman and neighbor, Dan McGuire, travelled to Ireland around the holidays. Maybe he’ll let us in on the details for next time.
Congratulations to Susan and Mike McCabe, 6100 Westminster, on the birth of their son. Sean McCabe was born on Dec. 15 at St. Mary’s Hospital. Sue and Mike both work for Xerox. Steve and Nita Littlejohn, 6100 Kingsbury, are expecting their own little new arrival sometime this spring, and rumor has it that another household is also expecting somewhere in the 6100 block of Westminster (not this one, however!). New residents to Parkview, George and Debbie Genung, recently had their fourth child, a baby girl.
This news is so recent, we do not even know her name.
The Genungs bought Ralph Vossen’s house in the 6300 block of Washington.
Mike Juwer, DeBaliviere Place resident and owner of The Movie Shop on Pershing, has recently opened a new store on South Hampton.
This shop is Mike’s third, there is also one in Soulard as well as the shop here in the neighborhood.
We wish him continued success! Parishioners and neighbors alike were disappointed to learn of the transfer of Father Mike Campbell from St. Roch’s to St. Margaret Mary Alacoque in Mehlville. Father Campbell has made an immeasureable contribution to the neighborhood as well as to the parish and will be greatly missed.
He is being replaced by Father Robert Samson, formerly of St. Ferdinand in Florissant.
We welcome him.
We are pleased to report that Lou Green, 6100 Westminster, is recovering well from her recent hospital stay. Lou is the director of Operation SafeStreet. Belated condolences are extended to Ken Cohen whose father passed away before the holidays. Ken is a friend and former neighbor to many and our thoughts are with him.
