Georgi Fox, 40 year neighborhood resident, is recuperating from back surgery.
Her recuperation was helped by a visit from daughter Genny, who currently resides in Singapore.
As her strength comes back, she looks forward to the arrival of son Alex and daughter-in-law Maria’s second child December 2.
A lovely bride and groom and two ceremonies. October 23 was a very special day for Dina Vatcha, daughter of JoAnn and Neville Vatcha, as she joined her life with Gururaj (Chintu) Kumar. Dina grew up in Skinker DeBaliviere. Chintu is a Michigan native whose parents immigrated from India.
They now live and work in Washington, D.C.
On the morning of the 23rd, they were married in a Hindu ceremony at the Hindu Temple opposite Queeny Park in St. Louis County.
As night fell, they received a Zoroasterian blessing and had a ring ceremony at the Mahler ballroom in the Central West End, followed by supper and dancing. Best wishes to Dina and Chintu!
This month’s Gateway Heritage, the magazine of the Missouri Historical Society, features a profile of our West End neighbor and Delmar collaborator, Marie Fowler.
The article highlights neighborhood reaction when Fowler and her husband integrated their block, north of Delmar.
Also mentioned is Ms. Fowler’s legendary stewardship of the West End Community Conference and her pride in their relatively recently acquired facility.
Her son and his family live in Parkview. Jill McGuire, longtime resident of 61xx Westminster Place, has received this year’s award for leadership in the arts from the Missouri Arts Council.
She was also profiled in the Post recently. Sincere condolences to Roy Bell and family of the 6100 block of Kingsbury. Roy’s mother, Laura Jeane Bell, passed away in September. Laura Bell was past president of the Missouri League of Nursing and served as a supervisor/instructor at Barnes Hospital and Washington University’s Schools of Nursing for many years.
She received her RN from St. Elizabeth Hospital in Washington DC, her BS from WU, and Master’s from SLU, and was named ‘Nurse of the Year’ in 2003.
In addition to these professional achievements, she was the beloved mother of 9 children. Looking forward to more babies in the spring, we learned that Rachael and Matt Boxdorfer of the 6000 block of McPherson are expecting another! Congratulations to all. We’re looking forward to learning more about all our young families in the months to come. Welcome to new neighbors on the 6100 block of Westminster, Tom Snider and Kathy Kniepman. Tom and Kathy purchased the house previously occupied by Christina (Fleener) and Sean McGroarty and their growing family, who have moved to a larger home on the 6100 block of McPherson.
