As many have heard, Tom Behan, chairman of the Historical Commission has passed away. It was sudden and unexpected. We, at the Commission are in shock and grief. His family has asked for privacy at this tragic time. Tom was our charismatic, methodical visionary who was leading us into 2026 with enthusiastic dedication. The Commission will move forward in our mission with the memory of our beloved friend, forever in our hearts.
