to
FHS Wall

everyone through membership on the Village Zoning Board and Future
Development Committee. At her death in 2002, Mrs. Murphy was fondly
remembered by teachers, students, and community.

This first in what will hopefully be a round of

this project together. Our first anniversary is coming up fast. So much can
happen in a year. Why not tell us about it? You can easily submit a
updated bio at any time. And, while you're
at it, why not send us your favorite photo of yourself?
