Minnie Maxwell’s family and many friends are saddened to learn of her death June 1. Minnie’s funeral arrangements were not known at the time of this week’s Review. Our deepest sympathy to the family of this hard-working, amazing lady.
The committee of the former CUinFP decided this name was somewhat controversial since the title “Citizens United” has been used by many savory and unsavory groups. So a new name, clever and unique, was selected. VOx 60130, i.e; The voice of Forest Park is the new name. Every Forest Parker is welcome. Discussion, controversy and all sides of an issue are always on the agenda. Your opinion counts as much as the next guy’s.
Members of St. Bernardine parish gathered last Sunday, June 2, for a final farewell to the faculty of the school. Several parishioners spoke, the church was packed, bittersweet memories abounded. Good-byes are always heartbreaking.
