Hometown Faces: Meet Suzanne Silek

Published

on

Hometown Faces is a feature on the Royal Examiner where our publisher Mike McCool will introduce you to people you have seen on the street, or at your favorite restaurant. When you see them, you say, “Who is that?”

Recently, the Warren County High School Class of 1956 met in the home of Prudence Mathews, and our camera was there to meet the Class of 1956 and to share their memories.

Suzanne is a Front Royal native, a descendant of Peter LeHew through his son Spencer, and an avid local historian. She also is a Director of the Warren Rifles Museum, next door to the Warren Heritage Society on Chester Street.

Suzanne Wood Silek grew up in Front Royal, Virginia, where she lived during the years of school desegregation. She attended Warren County High School and John S. Mosby Academy and was a member of the Lost Class of 1959.

Watch for our camera around Town, you may be featured next on Hometown Faces.
