Douglas Thurman Alley

The Living Legends Board of Directors has unanimously and enthusiastically endorsed the request of the Old Town Civic Association to name the alley behind his home in honor of the late Douglas Thurman.

Doug was a founding Board member and an ardent supporter of the project. He gave not only financial support, he gave us ideas to increase our visibility, for example participating in the Scottish Walk and the St. Pat's Parade. He arranged for an information table at last year's Irish Festival and for an Alexandria City Band piper at the opening reception of the Living Legends photo exhibition at the Del Ray Artisans. He gave all this generously despite his failing health.
