Glover Park February 2019

The Monthly Newsletter of the Glover Park Citizens' Association A Tribute to Dorothy Biondi Ezrow or her neighbors and many colleagues, Dorothy Biondi Ezrow’s death on Janu- ary 6 was a shock and a source of great Fsadness. For Glover Park and the wider DC community, her passing represents an incal- culable loss of talent, energy, and inspiration. As the memories below attest, Dorothy was passionate about and all-in on any project she tackled. As one colleague observed, Dorothy endlessly gave of herself, no matter the price. There was nothing half-hearted about anything she did or undertook. She was committed to success. She contributed an astonishing number of volunteer hours and thrived on community engagement. She also drew on her life in the arts. Her famous network of connections was not only impressive but constantly expanding. Dorothy first began volunteering through the Glover Park Village, but her interests and energies quickly outgrew those parameters. She found a home for her wide-ranging plans at Guy Mason Recreation Center, where she and her team of volunteers developed free classes, social events, various holiday parties, author presentations, and Dorothy at Guy Mason's 2017 St. Patrick's Day Party. concerts.

She single-handedly created and directed what be- memory at the Guy Mason Recreation Center. came known as the Senior Programs, which reflected Dorothy’s broad range of interests, her voluminous rolodex, and what she thought the community might enjoy. These free programs included classes; trips to local points of interest such as museums; and special events such as the annual wellness fair and holiday parties, book talks, movies, and concerts by Levine School of Music students and the Gay Men’s Chorus Piano Group. The classes nourished the body as well as the mind—in- cluding yoga, gyrokenesis, conversational French, and a book group. The special events were designed to appeal to the community at large and always included delicious food elegantly presented. Dorothy never skimped and even the simplest event had style.”

Family Mattered Those who knew her well also commented on how grounded she was in her family. One who knew her through the library and met her son and granddaughter at a story-time session remembers smiling at what a close and beautiful family they were. Although Dorothy made light of it, she said, her dear husband’s lengthy illness had taken a lot out of her. His passing left an absence that seemingly could not be filled by any amount of work she took up.

From Dorothy’s Obituary Dorothy was born on October 17, 1936, in Chicago, and attended Marquette University where she majored in speech and was involved in many student productions. She worked several years as an actress and director in New York City; spent a year and a half teaching English in Milan and touring Europe; and then moved to Washington, DC in 1964 with her then-fiancé, David H. Ezrow. She held various jobs in production and publicity for TV stations WTOP and WDCA, took several years off to start a family, and then returned to theater as Artistic Director and General Manager of Prince George’s Civic Opera

REAL ESTATE WATCH

It’s All Risk vs. Reward!

Selling or buying a home can bring intense feel- ings of uncertainty. Will my home sell? How long will it take? Am I paying too much for the home I am buying? This isn’t surprising since, in fact, real es- tate transactions are all about risk versus reward. If you set your listing price high and it is sold quickly, that’s re- ward! But if the high price means that your property lin- gers on the market … ugh! Taking that risk didn’t pay off.

Importantly, though, it’s not all about price. There are many other aspects to a property sale that involve uncer- tainty and negotiations should take account of these, as well as price.
