What is your favorite Lower Merion/Narberth memory? 
Having the father and son softball games on July 4th morning at Bryn Mawr Elementary School as a child.

How long have you lived in Lower Merion/Narberth? In which community?
Lived in Bryn Mawr all my life except for going away to college and early years after college.

Why do you want to serve on the board of the Society?
As my father who was born (1910) and grew up in Bryn Mawr, also attended Lower Merion High School, and stories he told me about growing up in Bryn Mawr before World War II and after that, there is a rich history of Afro Americans living in Lower Merion. That history needs to be preserved.
