Porcupine Soup reports that Mary Lou Nahas of Oak Hill was named the 2022 senior citizen of the year and Linda Sutton of Cornwallville the outstanding contribution by a senior citizen award from the Greene County Legislature. Nahas has worked with the Greene County Historic Society since 1998 and, in 2000, organized the Durham Historical Preservation Committee and served as secretary for 20 years. Also, since 2004, she has worked with the Oak Hill Preservation Association. Sutton helped create the Patrick Kellegher Field at the Irish Cultural Center in Durham, and, since 1989, has been a member of the Association of the Preservation of the Durham Valley. Sutton also organized the Durham Historic Preservation Commission in 1990. Both women have a long list of other local works. Nahas and Sutton will be recognized at a Greene County Legislature meeting in May and later this year, they will be recognized by New York State at a special ceremony as part of the 2022 Older New Yorkers Day celebration in Albany.
