About our speaker - in her own words:
I grew up in Cincinnati, attended University of Cincinnati and spent most of my career in the furniture industry. I live in the South Park neighborhood and always spent a great deal of my free time walking at Woodland Cemetery. After I officially retired, I learned that there were volunteer opportunities at the place that I enjoyed so much, so I have spent the last six years as a volunteer at Woodland doing what I love best - learning the history of the people who rest at Woodland and then telling others about it.
Chairperson for the Day: Margaret Kruckemeyer
Reception Table Hostesses: Judy Nassmacher, Connie Friend
