Barbara Morgan

Grab your favorite beverage and gather round! I met up with long-time caper Valerie Sullivan. We sat at the wine tasting bar in the back of Bella's to talk about her family, and growing up in Cape St. Claire. It's a trip down memory lane and a celebration of our community. 

Barbara Morgan is a long-time Cape St. Claire resident, and the current Vice-President of the Goshen Farm Preservations Society.   Since 2007 the society has worked to preserve this historic farm property in Cape St. Claire. Find out the history of Goshen farm that spans generations, and how you can help the preservation efforts.

Stacey Wildberger and Brad Knopf are the current President and Vice President of the Cape Conservation Corps.   We chatted outside on a hot and windy day, next to the Little Magothy by the Oyster Nursery, where I learned all about their efforts to preserve nature, irradicate invasive species, and protect the natural resources around us.  

Stefanie Schwenk is the owner and lead teacher of Best Beginning Pre School here in Cape St. Claire.  With over 25 years of teaching experience, "Miss Stef " as her students like to call her, encompasses the best practices of  Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Nature Education. We chatted outside her home on a beautiful summer day. 

Dr. Ellen Prager and Dave Jones made Cape St. Claire their new home a year ago. Ellen, a marine scientist and author, and Dave, a weather industry veteran, have collaborated on a new book, Megaladons, Mermaids and Climate Change due out this Fall. I spoke with them in their garden here in the Cape.  

T. Michelle Davy always knew she wanted to open a community-based dance academy. Michelle worked in dance education for over 20 years. Prior to opening Davy Dance Academy in 2011, she managed two different dance studios and worked as a Performing Arts Teacher at The Harbour School. I spoke with her from her office here in Cape St. Claire. https://www.davydanceacademy.com  

Audrey Lengbeyer is the current president of the Cape St. Claire Garden club. Maybe you've been to their plant sale? Or received the distinguished honor of Yard of the Month? We sit in Audrey's beautiful back yard on a warm sunny day and chat about her love for her community, family, and of course, gardening.    https://capegardenclub.wordpress.com/ https://extension.umd.edu/programs/environment-natural-resources/program-areas/bay-wise-program/how-participate/  

Sometimes referred to as the "Mayor of Cape St. Claire," Beau works tirelessly to improve the community. Beau's contributions to CSC through the CSC Improvement Association are evident everywhere, including an impactful beach restoration.  His love of CSC is routed in childhood friendships, memories of time spent on the water, and now, finding the love of his life.  I spoke with Beau at a picnic table at the Main Beach.
