Received an e-mail this morning from an old (Wait. No. He's the same age as me. Make that "longstanding") friend who asked me to write an item about his mother, Mary Larkin Dugan of East Marlborough Township.
I'm very glad to do it. Mary is a very smart, literate and amusing woman -- she used to teach English at the Unionville Middle School -- and her business now is researching "house histories."
"People commission her to research the history of their property. She delivers a nice report on past owners, when transferred, etc." said her son.
Mary also runs the Kennett Underground Railroad Center and has written a charming history of East Linden Street in Kennett Square (her co-author was Ella Sestrich, who used to own the much-missed Sestrich's Market in Unionville).
Mary's website is http://marylarkindugan.com/
