The Washington Heights Neighbors Association chose new officers Thursday, May 15. There were no surprises as the entire slate suggested by the nominating committee was elected.
In the only close contest Ed Jones bested Doug Alexander 76 to 66.
The new officers of the Association are: Ed Jones, president; John Thomas, vice president 1; Council Smith, vice president 2; Loretta Lloyd vice president 3; Mary Kastens, recording secretary, Ethel Sawyer Adolphe, corresponding secretary; Debe Hopper, treasurer; Willis Lloyd, area 1 representative and Ophelia Prewitt, his alternate; Vivienne Dobbs, area 2 representative and Eddie Sanders, her alternate; and Charlotte Simpson, area 3 representative and Clarice Haines, her alternate.
When the meeting was brought to order, 80 to 100 persons crowded into Grace and Peace. Then followed a short report from Horace Busch and a long report from Mike McGrath, chairman of the Housing, committee. McGrath’s report was marked by several unsuccessful attempts to cut the report short and get on with the election. Shortly after McGrath finished, over 140 Washington Heights residents cast their votes.
