MEET MUSEUM'S NEW COORDINATOR ----- DENNIS SIMON
Dennis Simon became the new coordinator at the museum this fall. A former member of the Lee County and City of Sanibel Planning Departments, he is more than familiar with working with people and handling important issues.
He has lived on Sanibel since 1987 with his wife and two children. He received his masters degree in city and regional planning from Ohio State University.
As coordinator, some of Simon's responsibilities encompass overseeing exhibits, obtaining grants, scheduling docents and establishing a relationship with the community. He will also open and close the museum and be available to assist the volunteers.
A self-proclaimed history buff, Simon is fascinated with the historical period between 1900-1950. "This is the job I've been waiting for all my life," he says.
