We are very saddened to hear of the recent passing of former Executive Director and RJ Whaley interpreter, Len Thomas, earlier this month. Our deepest condolences to his family and friends, and offer our sincerest gratitude for the time he had dedicated to this house and historic preservation. May he rest in peace. His family provided this wonderful image of Len (left) dressed as Mr. Whaley from some time ago.
