Our winners of the 2020 Judge Brammar Award for Years of Exemplary Service are Jenna Ford and Jeff Cook. Jenna has been involved with WDL for the past ten years both off and onstage as a director, actor, costume designer and marketing and is currently Secretary on the Board of Directors of WDL.

COVID Chronicles Delaware is an initiative of the Delaware History Society, asking Delawareans to reflect on their experiences living through the COVID-19 pandemic and capture them through writing, art, image, or song. All submissions will become part of the permanent Delaware Historical Society digital collection to serve individually and collectively as primary sources for future generations.
You are the Primary Source. Have you ever asked a relative about their experience in World War II? Are you holding onto your grandmother, or even great-grandmother's wedding dress? History happens all around us, in moments both big and small.
