Maryanna Sarazine

There are many people in our community who would have loved to tell about their involvement with the winner of the Posthumous Heritage Award, and it is my privilege to be the one who gets to tell you about Maryanna Sarazine and her contributions to our community.  One of the things we did together was to go door knocking for a political candidate, and it is the unusual person who can make that fun!
