I am fascinated by history; especially the Balkans and the two World Wars. I am passionate about sports cars and watches.

I was featured in LA Dodgers magazine and got to stand on the mound with relief pitcher Eric Gagne in a game-day program as part of a Boeing volunteer recognition program. I started the fencing club at the University of Washington.

Difficult to say. When I have volunteered in the past for a variety of reasons; I am impressed by the organization’s focus, the programs are well-run, I can contribute and will enjoy doing it, and I will enjoy working with both employees and volunteers. The minute I walked onto the Elliott, I knew I wanted to get involved.

My passion is spending time with my wife, family and friends. My interests are running, traveling, music and meeting new people.  I enjoy volunteering to help others.

I crewed on a sailboat racing team for a number of years, racing J-24 and J-35 sailboats in and around Manhattan.

The people! My favorite thing about volunteering is working with staff, volunteers and guests.  I really enjoy being a part of the team setting up new exhibits and special events, and helping guests enjoy the Elliott Museum.

I love to cook, entertain and read.  I sing in my church choir.  I am passionate about being a Soroptimist and helping women and girls overcome obstacles to obtaining an education, both locally and globally.

I have done a little amateur theater, and I have landed in a helicopter on a glacier in New Zealand!

The opportunity to learn new things and share information with our guests so that they can have their best experience.

Faith & family are First; followed by a passion for ballroom dancing which came to a screeching halt with Covid. That was when I turned to Pickleball. I love live music & enjoy our Lyric Theatre.

You might be surprised to know I’ve been on the cover of The New York Times when doing passenger service for PanAmerican World Airlines. The Russian jetliner inaugurated direct Soviet-US passenger flights to JFK in 1968 & I welcomed the crew.

The Elliott offers a wealth of knowledge in exhibits, staff & guests. I crave this! It’s a pleasure to volunteer with intelligent, kind people exuding energy!

Besides the museum I am deeply involved in antique cars. At present I have 5.

Sherry and I lived aboard our boat on the Caribbean for about 7 years.

Cars! Highlight was accompanying the museum’s Cunningham to a reunion in Greenwich, Connecticut. All of Briggs Cunningham’s 36 cars were there.

My wife and 2 grown children are my passion, my interests are, cars, cars and more cars; driving, building, or just looking at them.

I am an avid tv cooking show watcher and I dabble in the kitchen.

The outstanding staff at the museum and sharing my knowledge with our guests visiting our car gallery.

I love the National Park system and have visited over 25 National Parks, Monuments, Forests, etc., including the Dry Tortugas off Key West. St. John’s in the Virgin Islands is top of the bucket list.

We moved to the area to be closer to the ocean. Although I enjoy being out on it, I don’t spend too much time on the beach because of the sand.

I love sharing the story of The House of Refuge to visitors from near and far. So many people are surprised we have this amazing property on the Treasure Coast that has withstood the elements for almost 1 50 years now. It truly is this hidden gem that has yet to be discovered by so many.

My special interests have at various times included raising and showing dogs, particularly Skye Terriers and West Highland Whites as well as sailing both racing and cruising.  My current interests include photography as well as traveling.

I am a wildlife photographer spending hours in Florida’s many swamps and estuaries.

Working the front desk is ideal for me as I love meeting people and especially the children.  

I enjoy reading, history and travel. I am a long term “gear head” and love racing and cars.

I helped open the new Elliott Museum in 2013 and recruited the first 200 volunteers.

I currently volunteer two days a week at the House of Refuge, and I love the location, the history and the interesting people I meet.

Passions. I love people, history, reading, the sea, and traveling. As I am writing this, I am aboard the ORION off the coast of New Zealand.

Riding with my husband on his Harley Davidson motorcycle, we completed the Four Corners Ride in 21 days, 10,336 miles. We rode in all 48 states and many Canadien provinces. In the summer I spend many days out on the Chesapeake Bay aboard my 15 foot boat, TEACHERS PET.

The people I meet at the House of Refuge are so interesting and friendly. Many have no idea how close WWII came to the state of Florida. When I drive over the bridge I say a prayer, so thankful that I have the opportunity to be a docent at the House of Refuge and share what I have learned.
Also, Michael is a great guy, what a “boss.”

Since coming to Florida in 2004, Peter and I have been very active at St Luke’s Episcopal Church in Stuart where we are on several committees and serve several ministries. Some of our outreach programs like our backpack giveaway are very near and dear to us.

I like flowers and gardening and have a special love of orchids which of course didn’t grow wild in New York City where I was born and raised.

My favorite thing about HSMC is learning new things which I did not necessarily have an interest in before. So, of course, my favorite part of the museum is the changing gallery. The constantly changing of exhibits sparks new interest and new research.

I enjoy volunteering very much. Currently, I volunteer at Caring Fields Felines in Palm City, as well as The Elliott.

Wish I could say I have some special talent, but sadly I do not. Have always lived a relatively simple life. For a number of years my late husband and I rode motorcycles and that was always fun. I loved working but retirement is pretty great also.

The museum itself is awesome but my favorite part is the people. The people who work and volunteer there are great and the visitors are very interesting to talk to.
