Age continues to take its toll. Marj and Brad Weir said goodbye to our hood in March for a more accessible environment.
They spent over five decades in Skinker DeBaliviere and were volunteers in almost every aspect of neighborhood life. Their first major foray was political.
They became active in the 28th Ward Regular Democrats. Brad served as treasurer and Marj as secretary for many years.
In the neighborhood itself, Marj worked on the Mother’s Day art fair and house tour. Brad staffed the grill at numerous events. Marj participated actively in the planing and implementation of our 2008 centennial and house tour.
She also worked with JoAnn Vatcha to create the neighborhood history. Perhaps Marj’s greatest contribution can be found with this newspaper. Since the paper’s inception, she has written, edited, laid out many issues.
In the past few years, she has placed every issue on line and created an index to make usage by all easy.
In days to come, I will look for them at every event. Brad and Marj’s spirit will remain with us even though they can no longer be with us in person.They were certainly among our stalwarts, those who loved the neighborhood and worked tirelessly for its stability and diversity.
I have been privileged to enjoy their friendship for over 30 years.
We have all benefitted from their many contributions.
