We are saying goodbye and offering a big thank you to Jack Backus and Peter Turner as they leave the LHA Board of Directors at the end of the year. Jack, as chair of Neighborhood Preservation Committee and Vice President, focused on using his committee members’ varied expertise and awareness to help homeowners preserve, upgrade, remodel, repair their homes and property according to our governing documents balanced with today’s materials and designs.

As President and as Treasurer, Peter listened to our community. He actively inquires and thinks about the issues and invents possible solutions. Reducing traffic noise during and after I-580 repaving project, security, and safeguarding the future of our open spaces were among these. Protecting the specialness of neighborhood where he grew up and that he wants his grandchildren to enjoy gives him an impetus unique as a director.

Thank you, Jack and Peter!
