A reader in Malvern Borough had sent me this photo because it IS 9/11 and flags are supposed to be at half-staff.
So I went looking on the Malvern Borough website to see if maybe they said WHY they didn’t do this, and instead found something I was not looking for – the fact that Tiffany Loomis was no longer the Borough Manager…and the interim manager is a familiar name to Tredyffrin and East Whiteland and by association to West Whiteland, Terri Woodman
The Church Lady says it best:

Remember when she became East Whiteland Manager after Mimi Gleason went to West Whiteland? She was Gleason’s assistant township manager in Tredyffrin before Gleason went to West Whiteland (and we all remember the drama of Mimi gate over there so we don’t need to re-live it do we?)
Terry Woodman, 48, of Easttown, currently assistant township manager in Tredyffrin Township, will begin her new position on Feb. 5.
“I’m very excited,” she said. “I’ve enjoyed this type of work, working at the community level. I’m looking forward to meeting and greeting the residents of East Whiteland and to help the township reach into the future.”
Woodman, who has served as Tredyffrin’s assistant township manager for 13 years, was chosen from six who interviewed for the position.
“She was our first choice,” said East Whiteland Supervisors’ Chairman Michele Vaughn. “Terry came out on top as the best candidate. We felt that she would hit the ground running as soon as she came on board.”
Umm well, yeah. Terri Woodman. Will she respond to emails while in Malvern Borough? She didn’t seem email literate while in East Whiteland.
Now Malvern Borough seemed to have put out a Help Wanted sign, but will they go through with it? After all they seem to prefer the path of least resistance as they made Tiffany Loomis when she was acting borough manager the permanent manager after Chris Bashore went to the greener (or perhaps more moldy?) pastures of West Goshen:

I don’t know but it does blow my mind the circles of it all.
It’s a very small pool of managers apparently. Just look at West Vincent where the former manager is the interim manager and a few years ago the interim manager there became manager and had been an interim manager in Radnor too. Managerial hop scotch.
Anyway, hope Malvern fixed their flags – Burke Park needed half masting too.
