The latest class of Living Legends of Alexandria is profiled in an exhibit at The Lyceum, Alexandria’s History Museum, 201 S. Washington St. This photography exhibition, featuring the work of Nina Tisara, celebrates people who have made remarkable contributions to the quality of life in Alexandria. “Living Legends of Alexandria 2008-09” showcases 26 nominees who have worked to improve life in Alexandria. The museum is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. The suggested admission is $2. For more information, visit http://www.alexandriahistory.org or call 703.838.4994.
Nina graciously hosted me for breakfast where she shared the photo documentary record of the Living Legends of Alexandria 2008. I have long admired Nina’s dedication to this project and I will be adding to this post in the near future with more details about the project, how you can nominate someone for this prestigious honor, and what Nina’s organization needs in terms of support from the community.
One of the legends, Mel & Donna Bergheim, has part of their story here.
