I moved to Brookline, Massachusetts, with my family in 1996. In 2005, after doing a presentation and walking tour for the Brookline Historical Society, I was invited to join the Society’s board. In 2009, I became president. I have engaged in a wide variety of Brookline-related research, writing, presentations, walking tours, and other activities over the years.
