Speaker: Dr. Elisabeth Roark, Associate Professor of Art and Art History, Chatham University
This speaker was originally scheduled for February 12, but the meeting was canceled due to weather — then our original March speaker had to cancel and we will be rescheduling him for next year.( “History of the Pittsburgh Fire Department” Speaker: Francis “Kip” Deleonibus, Asst. Chief of Operations, Pittsburgh Fire Bureau)
Chatham University Information on Dr. Roark
This is the third presentation by Dr. Roark to our group. Her interest in cemeteries led to a talk June 2005 on “The Evolution of Pittsburgh Cemeteries: Trinity, Allegheny & Homewood”. September 2004, she presented a fascinating talk on “”A Hidden Treasure: Tiffany’s Alumnae Memorial Window at Chatham College”. So we look forward to another wonderful evening experience.
