What is your favorite Lower Merion/Narberth memory?
Exploring the woods at General Wayne Park as a child with my three sisters…then doing the same exploring there with my twins when they were kids. And I still walk there!
How long have you lived in Lower Merion/Narberth? In which community?
I grew up in Merion; after living some years in Bucks County, I moved back to Lower Merion and Penn Valley. My kids graduated from Harriton. Total time here: 40+ years.
Why do you want to serve on the board of the Society?
Lower Merion has such a rich history. I first became interested and aware of our history when I was a child—I read the Merion Park Civic Association phone directory (dorky kid) and learned that my neighborhood was formerly a harness racetrack and that my street was where the judges’ stand was! It blew my young mind. The Lower Merion Historical Society is such a critical link to our past, and I want to help it thrive, especially with young folks.
