Happy Trails AUDREY SIMPSON to

Audrey Simpson has seen a lot of changes since she became the part-time business manager for both Friends of the Wissahickon and the Chestnut Hill Historical Society (now Chestnut Hill Conservancy) 22 years ago. When FOW outgrew the space that the two organizations shared on Germantown Avenue and moved to its current location on Evergreen Avenue in 2016, Audrey began working exclusively for FOW, and we’re so grateful she did. At the end of this year, the FOW family will lose an indispensable colleague and dear friend when Audrey retires from the organization.

“For a lot of people, including myself, she was the first face people saw or heard on the phone at FOW,” said Ruffian Tittmann, FOW executive director. “Audrey has seen it all and has always been a steady and reassuring presence for the many different people and situations she encountered over the past two decades.”
