Ryerson, Rita, Dann, Andreea, Eva Bouzide & Astha

Since the Windsor Historical Society was established in 2002, we have benefited from the work of several volunteers and staff members. Some of you may remember Mnal, Manjola, Mirko, Michael, Maggie and Sam. Mnal and her children have returned to Saudi Arabia to join her husband. She sends regards and good wishes to all of her former colleagues, Larry and Louis, and also to Bill and Lil Lappan. Manjola has gone home to Albania for a visit. Upon her return to Canada, she will be moving along with her family to Alberta where she expects to find work in her field. Mirko visited the office while home on vacation from his studies at the University of Victoria. He will be returning to UVic in the fall to pursue his Doctorate. Michael stopped in to see us and reported that he is currently working on another book about Windsor. Maggie and Sam have returned: Maggie will be taking care of the book-keeping for the Society.

Sam is still working as our indispensable IT-guy. He is presently updating our Website and will be continuing to interview Veterans in the fall. Joining Maggie and Sam are the newest members of our team, Astha Handa, Andreea Popescu, Ryerson Fitzpatrick and Dr. Rita Devin. Astha, after graduating from the University of Windsor, returned to India to visit her family. Astha is our new Coordinator, office manager and technology assistant. She is responsible for keeping us all on track and organized. Andreea is our VIP Volunteer from the University of Windsor. She is creating a logo for us and assisting us with graphic design. She also brings great technological and liaison skills to our organization. Ryerson, who you may remember from our previous two Veteran's Appreciation Day Events, is a computer wiz and our most favorite bagpiper. He will be organizing and updating the files on our 180 Veterans and contacts. You can expect a call from him. Dr. Rita Devin (PhD) of Image Wisdom External Relations has recently joined our team as Director of Communications & Public Relations. She will be responsible for consulting and strategic planning as well as writing, editing and overseeing the production of all of our communications. The Windsor Historical Society invites you to come to our office to meet the team and check out what we are working on. Please call 519 564-6474 to arrange a visit. Welcome!
