Remembering Jean Cryor

Naomi Bloch, representing Councilmember Duchy Trachtenberg, joined many elected officials, members of the Cryor family and several officials from the Maryland-National Capital Parks and Planning Commission on Monday, July 12, 2010,  to honor, remember and dedicate Glen Hills Local Park to Jean B. Cryor in Potomac, Maryland. In the course of her life, Jean Cryor served the community she loved in so many ways. She was a journalist, a District 15 Delegate, and at the time of her death, she was a Commissioner on the Montgomery County Planning Board.

There were many heartfelt remarks and stories shared by all of the many speakers who came to honor a dear friend and colleague. Among those making remarks during the ceremony were former Planning Boad Chair Royce Hanson, County Council President Nancy Floreen, District 15 Delegates Brian Feldman and Kathleen Dumais, both of whom served with Jean in Annapolis for many years, and State Senators Jeannie Forehand and Richard Mandaleno. Glen Hills Park had special meaning to the Cryor family and was a place Jean spent many happy hours with her children and grandchildren.
