Let’s begin with happy news for our Summer issue–a special new addition to the 5900 block of McPherson! Josiah James Matthews was born on March 18 at 3:34 am, measuring 22 inches long and 7 pounds, 12 oz. Baby Joss joins proud big brother, Toby (4 years old) along with mom and dad, Jenny and Buzz Matthews.
They are all very much in love! Congratulations to all! Goodbye neighbors. Hello neighbors! That’s exactly what we can all say to Andy & Molly Mulcahy and Frank and Mary Hellwig.
The Mulcahy’s moved from their condo on the 6100 block of Washington and the Hellwigs from their home on the 6100 block of McPherson.
The fabulous news is, neither went far.
In fact, they went to each other’s former homes! It’s not the first house swap in the neighborhood and probably won’t be the last. Welcome to the neighborhood! Longtime Parkview resident, Eli Shuter passed away on April 6th at the age of 81. Eli was a respected doctor and mentor. Eli loved Lambic beer, dahlias, Blues hockey, opera, art, marathon clamming, biking, national parks, Mel Brooks and questionable jokes.
A graduate of Cornell University and Washington University Medical School, Eli was a neurologist for over 50 years and founded the St. Louis Neurological Institute at Christian Hospital Northeast, where he also served as Chief of Staff.
He was an Associate Professor at Washington University and especially enjoyed rounds with his residents at Barnes Hospital.
He was married 56 years to Renni Shuter (deceased). Our heartfelt condolences go out to the entire family. News from Albert Webster and Kristina Stierholtz of the 6300 block of Waterman in Parkview is all about graduations this year! Lilly Webster will graduate with honors and a degree in Mathematics from Grinnell College, Iowa.
She has been involved in theater and dance as stage manager, carpenter, and stage technician throughout her time there. Lilly now heads to the University of Minnesota to pursue her PhD in Math; her current field of study is Algebraic Combinatorics. Lilly is a graduate of Nerinx Hall and attended St. Roch school for 7th and 8th grades. Eric Webster will graduate from Lutheran North High School.
He has played soccer and tennis at North, is a member of their Concentus select choir, and has performed in all of their plays and musicals.
He is a peer minister, small group leader, and a member of the National Honor Society. Eric will attend Valparaiso University to pursue a degree in Chemistry.
He is one of two Lutheran Leadership Scholarship awardees, a program that will provide academic and practical training in leadership while paying his tuition. Eric attended St. Roch school starting in third grade. Kris and Albert’s “host son” Dylan Sun has lived with them the entire school year and has attended Lutheran North since Sophomore year.
He will graduate with Eric. Dylan is heading to the University of Washington Seattle to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering.
The literary world suffered a great loss in April that hit home for many neighbors in Skinker DeBaliviere. Famed and award winning author Patricia McKissack died at the age of 72 on April 7.
Her son Frederick McKissack, Jr. said he believed she may have died of a broken heart, having lost her best friend and partner in both life and career, Frederick McKissack, in 2013.
The McKissacks lived on the 5800 block of Pershing for many years as part of the original Skinker-DeBaliviere “pioneers”.
They were among the most prolific children’s authors on AfricanAmerican history, folklore and stories, having published more than 100 books and won multiple honors, including a Newbery Honor and nine Coretta Scott King Author and Honor awards. Our condolences go out to their three sons, and we take comfort to know that their talent will live on in their books.
