When Adriane Zapien, Boyertown Area Historical Society Board member learned that Boyertown's annual Halloween Parade--a tradition since 1912--was to be discontinued for lack of an organizer, she volunteered to keep it alive. I am inspired by her initiative in saving the parade and her commitment to preserve the community's history in hosting "Old Souls Strolls" featuring stories and histories of the community's oldest buildings and residences. Learning about her mission as cosmetologist, the care and compassion she develops with her clients showcase a very special person involved in a very special kind of place.
