Vicissitudes（英文）

此内容暂无简体中文译文，以下为英文原文。

Happy month-of-the-goblins, and such things as are important to you. Passing along to you a few items of interest, and hoping to see and meet all of you at all the various events coming up soon. Don’t forget to let us know your news, and that of family and friends.

Mike and Ellen Lowenstein of the 6100 block of Waterman have bought the home on the corner of Rosedale and the 6000 block of McPherson. You may have noticed the terrific amount of hammering away going on there. We anticipate a lovely new renovation there, and we congratulate

Mike and Ellen on their new home.

George Denis, a 30-year resident of the 6000 block of Pershing, was recently injured while riding his bike in the “Midnight Ramble.” He was knocked off his bike by another bike rider and suffered a broken collarbone. To add insult to injury, his bike was lost while he was being taken to the Emergency Room. We trust he will be fully recuperated soon and hope his biking spirit is not forever dampened.

Get well wishes also go to Linda Montgomery, daughter of William and Naomi Montgomery, of the 5800 block of Waterman. Linda is still hobbling on crutches at this date, since suffering an injury in a summer auto accident.

Hearty congratulations go to Paper Staff member (and otherwise nice person) Peggy Peters, who was married recently to Herman Vaughan. A family celebration was conducted by Peggy’s son Jeff, who had the foresight to train for the occasion by taking the Cake Decorating mini-course last year at St. Roch’s. A somewhat larger reception is being planned for later this fall. They will continue to live in the 600 block of Pershing apartment which was on last year’s House Tour. We wish Herman and Peggy all the best!

Jim and Carol Metzenthin, of the 6100 block of Washington, are expecting a new baby! Their identical twin sons Tom and Eric are just a year and a half old, so Carol is an especially busy lady. Congratulations to all the Metzenthins.

Another busy lady, Helen Quesnell, recently completed her doctorate degree at St. Louis University. Helen and husband Carl live on the 6100 block of Westminster. Congratulations!

At the other end of Westminster, we congratulate Jeff and Nancy Shelton, who have a brand new first baby boy. His name is Robert Michael, and we understand baby and parents are doing fine. Congratulations!

On the up and coming 600 block of Washington, we welcome yet another new neighbor/rehabber, Ms. Arthelda Nash. We expect to see West End Townhouse’s newest renovation, 6016 Washington, occupied by happy homeowners soon. And did you know that rehabbing work is about to begin on the apartments at 520 Rosedale, now also owned by West End Townhouse. They will remain apartments but greatly improved, we trust.

Correcting last month’s hasty sports story: athletic Debbie Busch did indeed win a sports award, but it was as 1 of 3 outstanding women athletes at Meramec Jr. College. She was on the All-Conference Softball Team. It was her sister Karen who is a tennis whiz: Karen won 1st place in the Dwight Davis Ladies Tennis Tournament, and 2nd place, the Richard Hudlin Cup, at Fairgrounds Park Tournament. Congratulations to both winning Busch girls!

We regret to inform you of the passing of Mrs. Lubertha Bolden, of the 5800 block of DeGiverville. Mrs. Bolden, wife of William Bolden, President of Washington Heights Neighbors, had been ill for some time with a heart condition. We offer our sympathy to Pops and their children.

Our condolences also go to Brad Weir, whose father passed away in September.

And we extend our sympathy to Betty Nerviani, at the loss of her father.
