Bardy Wallace rejoined the board in July 2021, having spent three earlier terms as board secretary. She grew up in Palo Alto during the post-World War II period of accelerated population and job growth that foreshadowed the physical and economic outlines of today’s city. With a history degree from Stanford, she worked later with young children and taught child development classes to their parents. Formerly a PAHA board member, she values our historical archives and notes appreciatively that musicians and artists have long joined engineers, educators, researchers, and imaginative investors in fueling Palo Alto’s vibrant spirit.
“The Museum will point to the future by spotlighting the diversity of people whose forward-looking energy has distinguished Palo Alto since its earliest days.”
