Historical March 1984 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

We’ve enjoyed seeing folks out and enjoying our periodic spells of nice weather. Spring is certainly around the corner. St. Roch’s annual Progressive Dinner was held on Jan. 28 and was a delightful event as always.

Mary Vanicelli of Parkview was chairperson this year.

The dessert was held as usual at the church hall and was hosted by the priests and sisters of St. Roch’s. Numerous neighbors, former neighbors and friends were seen enjoying hot drinks, cannolis and other delectable delights.

Many enjoyed seeing Monsignor Peet, former pastor of St. Roch, who was transported to the affair by George Storey of Washington Heights. Unfortunately, George’s lovely wife Rose was in the hospital suffering from back trouble at the time, but we understand that she is home now and on the mend. Rumor has it that she may begin writing for The Paper — we’re looking forward to it. Also recovering from a recent injury is Ray Breun, 6100 McPherson, who was hit by a car as he was crossing the street. Ray suffered a fractured leg and a dislocated shoulder, and will be traveling in a wheelchair for a while. Hope his fine-tuned sense of humor wasn’t damaged. Bill Kuhl, also of 6100 McPherson, was involved in an accident too. Fortunately he was not injured, but he totalled his car and is shopping for a new Porsche.

Another McPherson neighbor, Art Santen, is recovering from recent cataract surgery.

Congratulations to Marvin Nodiff, 6100 Westminster, who won Second National Prize in the 1982 Nathan Burken Memorial Competition sponsored by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. Marvin’s essay on copyright laws won the local competition last year and was selected for the national prize by a panel which included The Hon. Potter Stewart, formerly of the United States Supreme Court.

The essay will be published in a symposium by Columbia University Press. Doe Cook and her son Steven, 6100 Westminster, spent their holidays in Europe.

They celebrated Christmas in Paris and say that is was absolutely beautiful at holiday time.

They also visited Brussels.

Mike McCabe and his sister Michelle Michaud, 6100 Westminster, enjoyed a ski trip this winter. • Jane and Jim Geer, 6100 Kingsbury, and daughters Susan and Sarah were visited by Jane’s friend Sue Kittredge from Connecticut in January. Kingsbury residents have certainly enjoyed watching the progress on Pat and Bill Kohn’s new back porch. Good luck to Joyce Criglar, formerly the secretary at the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council Office. Joyce has taken a new position at St. Louis University.

Copies of the St. Roch’s Cooking Classics are still available and at $5 are quite a bargain.

The book contains recipes by neighbors past and present.

If interested call Mary Gioia or Gloria Broun.

Congratulations are also in order to Joan F. Smith, 6100 Pershing, who as the executive director of CONTACT-St. St. Louis, has received an invitation to spend ten days in Beirut, Lebanon, training the first group of volunteers for a Helpline for that city.

Welcome to the area to Elizabeth Barron, the Minister of Outreach at Delmar Baptist. Elizabeth, her husband and daughter have moved to DeBaliviere Place, 5500 Pershing.

We also wish to welcome Edward Merrill Hanlon.

He is the newborn son of Tim and Clare Hanlon, 6100 McPherson. Edward entered the world on Feb. 3 and weighed nine pounds, fourteen ounces.

The Hanlons have another child, a daughter Aileen, who is three and a half. Tim works for Ozark Airlines. Best wishes to DeeDee Sparkman of 6100 Westminster who was recently married to Richard Nicklos.

The couple is living here with DeeDee’s mother, but plans to move to Utah this summer. Don’t forget the paper party on March 31.

Look for more infor in this issue. Hope to see you there.
