We would like to welcome to the Times staff the new Parkview reporter Ellen Matthews. Ellen teaches part time at New City School and, in addition to being a wife and mother; she has authored and had published three children’s books.
She replaced Susan Krasniewski, who with her family, moved to Chillicothe, Ohio.
We gain a new resident and welcome a returning one. William Clay, Jr. -has recently purchased a home in the 6100 block of Washington.
He is currently serving as our state representative for the 59th District. Long-time neighbors will remember Ken Cohen, a former resident and past business manager of this publication.
We were pleased to hear that he has returned to the neighborhood and will soon be residing in the 6100 block of Pershing. Neighbors and friends were quite happy to learn that Jane Geer is recovering well from her recent surgery. Jane and her family live in 6100 Kingsbury and Jane is the business manager for the Times.
The annual St. Roch’s Progressive Dinner was held this year on January 26. Nine cocktail parties and twenty-three dinners were hosted by a variety of gracious folks.
Everyone we spoke with later reported a marvelous evening which was culminated by a delicious and beautifully served dessert complete with coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc.
This wonderful finish to a lovely affair was hosted by Father Polizzi and Father Samson.
It was a perfect evening thanks in large part to chairperson Joan Breun and co-chair Arline Webb, and in spite of the flu that took its toll on guests and hosts alike.
Many may remember Karen and George Brown, formerly of 5800 Pershing, and those who do were certainly happy to see them in attendance at the Progressive Dinner.
They came from their new home in Memphis.
They laughingly recalled last year’s Christmas Dinner, shared with the Richard Webb family, during which the kitchen sink backed up and resulted in pandemonium as well as a very memorable evening.
They reported that this year they followed their own tradition when their sink in their new home gave them a repeat performance. Talk about coincidence!
Congratulations to Bob Dowgwillo, 6100 Pershing, on his successfully planned “Evening on Ice” held Sat., Feb. 16 at Steinberg Skating Rink. About one hundred skaters and on-looking friends enjoyed the excellent weather, a wonderful bon fire, and the private use of the rink. Among those who were testing their ankles and skills after many years were Vince Schoemehl, Jo Ann Vatcha, Katie Kurtz, and Ramona Stelford; they should be proud of their efforts.
The evening was a excellent chance to get outside, see old and new friends alike, and to support two important organizations . . . the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council and the newly formed Friends of Steinberg. Neighbors on 6100 Westminster are sure envious of John and Ann Geers and their sons Ben and Eric on their recent winter vacation in Florida.
We need it bad, but they got it good! Father Sal Polizzi has recently returned from his winter vacation on the slopes in Vail, Colorado.
Congratulations to Henry and Florence Burdorf on the January 30th celebration of their golden wedding anniversary.
The Burgdorfs reside in the 6100 block of Pershing.
Another congrats and wishes for the best of luck go to Marjie Brammeier, 6100 Westminster. Marjie has taken a new position as design consultant with New Space Closet Interiors.
As a consultant she custom designs interior storage units for closets.
So if you’d like to finally get your closets organized, call Marjie.
Well, I’d like to say it was April Fools, but it’s a bit early. I must admit that I inadvertently misled you.
In spite of my efforts to coerce any one of my neighbors to do it, no one (to my knowledge) on 6100 Westminster, is currently pregnant. Too bad! However sincerely I reported the rumor, it is unfortunately untrue. I surely feel that whenever a friend or acquaintance is misled, an apology is in order, so you all have mine. Here’s hoping some more temperate weather will be getting us out on the sidewalks again!
