Pauline Chase-Harrell

Polly was one of the founding Board members of the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions. She never let us down and caused an impact on the US local government preservation programs that will always be felt.

I met Polly in 1966 when she began teaching with me at Amity Regional High School outside New Haven, Ct. She, her then-husband John, my husband Redford and I became good friends. Along with another couple, we would exchange dinner parties on the week ends as our usual form of recreation. I was chair of the History Department so very involved with the details of everyone's schedule. I especially remember a wonderful group lecture on American social history and architecture she gave for all...

Our thoughts are with Polly's family. Those of us at Strawbery BAnke Museum valued Polly's tenure on our Board of Advisors. We shall miss her indeed.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family! I enjoyed working with Polly for the past 6 years.

I was saddened to hear of Polly's death. My father always spoke highly of both her great intellegence and her work. Strength and peace to you and your family during this cold, dark time.

I am sorry to hear about Polly's passing and I'm thinking of you, Dick and Paula, and wishing you hope and healing.

So sorry to learn of Polly's death. Working with her during my ten years at Tufts was always both a pleasure and a learning experience.

In the untimely passing of Pauline Chase-Harrell the Boston and Newburyport area has lost a deeply committed and effective advocate for preservation of the region's second to none historical treasures and heritage.
