Sally is a life-long UU who moved to Chatham in 2001 with her husband (Stephen) and their three children (Andrew, Kenneth, and Molly). She was the first female president of the UUMH Board of trustees in the 2010’s, and also headed up the Worship Committee and the Program Council. Professionally, Sally is a Special Education teacher at Monomoy Middle School where she specializes in teaching math to 7th graders. In her personal life, Sally is the president of the Chatham Band where she plays the flute and piccolo. Music is a family affair as Stephen and Molly are also fellow band members.

Linda Jean - Secretary

I have worn many hats throughout my life, working part-time as a bookseller at Barnes and Noble, a lunch lady at a high school, a math tutor at a community college, a tax preparer, and a shop assistant at the Brewster General Store. My most meaningful and fulfilling career, however, has been raising my two children. I hold a Bachelor of Science and originally aspired to be a research scientist. My daughter is now pursuing her PhD, as a research scientist. I currently work professionally as a gardener, a role I enjoy for its hands-on, peaceful nature.

My daughter, Melanie, is married to a Naval officer and they live and have lived in California for the last 6 years. My son, Ross, is married and works remotely so he has settled in Hermitage near Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.

After graduating from Lehigh University in 1969, he served in the U.S. Army as an Infantry Officer and later earned a master’s degree from The Pennsylvania State University. He is also the author of two novels on the Vietnam War, Saving Ben Tre and Vietnam Blues.

Danielle June 2023.jpg
Danielle - Past President

Danielle lived in the Northeast, Europe, and Canada and was originally from Newton. She had the opportunity to travel throughout the world while enjoying a 25-year career at American Airlines in Sales and Marketing. 
 
Danielle and her husband, Bob, finally settled down in Chatham full-time in 2004. Danielle and Bob purchased Maps of Antiquity and moved it to Chatham, and started Chatham Guest Rooms. She joined UUMH in 2011 because it was a welcoming congregation that allowed her to explore and share her thoughts on community, the environment, and social justice. Having never joined a church until then, Danielle was unaware that she could become a part of a religious community open to accepting many different beliefs and religions, including atheism and agnosticism. She has found her spiritual home in our Meeting House.
