(Community Matters) quick Culture Map piece on Melba Whatley, who really is helping transform Austin in huge ways – especially St Ed’s new buildings, the AMOA-Art House merger and now the Waller Creek Conservancy. I wouldn’t call her a trouble maker – though she does speak her mind; I’d say a transformation agent. I saw that up front when we served together on the Texas Freedom Network board. A very cool fashionista (w/ a cool husband too, Ted Whatley)
community matters
It's about community, entrepreneurs, politics, art . . and sometimes just silly fun . . . a slightly gay blog.Eugene Sepulveda
Love big West Texas skies, Austin and my husband, Dr. Steven Robert Tomlinson, with whom I’ve spent the last 18 years – thirteen years since we were married on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada. Then, married again at St. James Episcopal Church in Austin, TX on June 27, 2015.
