Newly elected Regent of the Sarah Maples Chapter of DAR, Helen Preston welcomed new member Linda Lee Mynar after she was sworn in by Chaplain Priscilla Berry.
Linda has worked as an administrative assistant at two churches in the Dallas area, The Army and Air Force Exchange Service, and the Denton County Mental Health Department from which she retired last year and moved to Cedar Creek Lake.
She and her husband attend the First Presbyterian Church in Mabank and they volunteer with the Mabank Area Good Samaritan food pantry. Together they have four children, ten grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
Genealogy has become quite a passion for her. Linda’s father was accepted into the SAR just last year, at which time he brought copies of his papers to her and said “Now its your turn”. The research has opened up so much conversation between her and her father as he shares the stories of his life; stories she would never have heard otherwise. Linda says she thanks God every day for the new friends she has made in the Cedar Creek area and looks forward to begin participating in the service projects.
