2012 Flashback: Neighbors Worth Knowing, Part I

December 27, 2012

In 2012, our contributors wrote profiles of some wonderful people. We are proud to call them neighbors.

  • Renowned economist Alice Rivlin has spent the past 50 years in Forest Hills. She enjoys it just as much now.
  • You’ll often see our Ward 3 Councilmember, Mary Cheh, riding to work on a two-wheeler.
  • Documentary filmmaker Aviva Kempner makes sure the stories of Jewish heroes and history-makers are not forgotten.
  • We’ve learned a lot about Forest Hills history from Margery and Mel Elfin.
  • Mary Beth Tinker in 1965, and today

  • Free-speech advocate Mary Beth Tinker was an unlikely Supreme Court plaintiff who now teaches kids how to stand up for their rights.
  • Athlete Bessie Stockard was a “poor country girl” who was determined to play tennis, and became a pro.
  • Artist Joan Danziger takes us to another world with her “beetle magic.”
  • Scott Seligman is a “nice Jewish boy” who fell in love with China.
  • Leading energy economist Adam Sieminski has channeled a great deal of his own energy into preserving and restoring Peirce Mill.
