How long have you served on the RHS Board of Directors?
KL: I joined the board in 2019
What got you interested in the history of Rye?
KL: I grew up in Rye, since I was 8. It's the only place that really feels like 'home' even though I've lived in other places. My mom and I were both born in Portsmouth Hospital and my grandparents built and ran Mike's Marina on Wentworth Road, so our family history in the area goes back a long way.
What is the most exciting part of RHS for you?
KL: The mission to share Rye's deep and rich history with residents and visitors alike.
What is your favorite historical landmark in Rye, and why?
KL: I have 2: the transatlantic cable terminal because that was so historically significant and the sunken petrified forest because it dates back to the Ice Age. Probably also the Star Island retreat and conference center. It is a beautiful old building and they make the best vanilla ice cream in the world!
