Preface This cultural history of Narberth was written by Victoria Donohoe, a lifelong resident of Narberth. It was written over a forty-year period from about 1980 until her death in 2018. Victoria did not complete the book but left it in manuscript form in her house. Neighbor and friend Nancy Greene, who had helped type chapters for Victoria in the last years of her life, was able to secure Victoria's writings (and supporting documentation) when Victoria was moved into a retirement home. Victoria died before the book could be completed but Nancy has typed and organized the material as closely as possible to the way she believes Victoria would have wanted it.

Our 25th Annual Radnor Fall Festival is right around the corner and we are looking for sponsors. WAYNE I want to thank SILA and Foote Orthodontics on stepping up to the plate early as gold sponsors. If you are interested, there is more information on page 2 and 5 of this newsletter. Read it – we OPEN don't just cut and paste stock articles here! Our ad is due at the end of July for the September issue of Main Line Today and for Chester County Life. Next up is the Wayne Tree Lighting... but I am not going to talk about it because it's July...this is just subliminal. Late #WAYNEOPENLATE Speaking of Chester County Life, they are working with the WBA in writing solid editorials about our town. Huge spreads in the magazine with great pictures! Main Line Today will be writing up the Radnor Fall Festival this year, which should be a great spread as well. "Wayne Open Late?" What's that, you ask? Gloria Clawson, owner of Kids N' Kribs and new WBA Board Member, has started the conversation on Wayne businesses staying "Open Late" on Thursdays. This will be Wayne's version of First Fridays, Taco Tuesdays, etc...you get my drift. Gloria has talked to merchants in the WBOD if they would commit to staying open until 8pm every Thursday.
