T
he Museum thrives on the selfless dedication of its volunteers. And there are among them, a few extraordinary individuals who stand out for the difference they have made over the years. These are the elite few Honorary Trustees, a distinction awarded for long-term, significant service.
This year, Doc Richmond and Bob Landis received this honor. Doc, for his leadership through the move and restoration of the Woolley House. Bob for more than three decades of gracious and skilled contributions—from his artwork to his tenure as treasurer and property manager.
In memory Judy Hazelrigg, 76, of Oakhurst, died January 22. Judy was a long-time and loyal member, who shared her American Girl doll collection with guests at our Doll Tea each year and most recently handled the Museum docent schedule.
Raymond DeFaria of Ocean Grove died January 19. He was an active volunteer in his community, including work with the Food Bank, Girl Scouts, and Habitat for Humanity.
Susan MacDonald died January 15. She was a long-time member and exhibiter at our Doll Tea.
