He was honored by the Northern New England Chapter of the American Planning Association, and the Vermont Planners Association, as Citizen Planner of the Year in 1999. Over the years, Senville has been involved in many local and neighborhood issues in Burlington, and organized the first citywide "Pedestrian Summit." In 2007, he was the recipient of the "Herb Bloomenthal Award," Burlington's highest annual honor for community activism. During the Summer of 2007, Senville also spent six weeks traveling across the U.S. on Route 50 meeting with dozens of planners, planning commissioners, elected officials, and citizens.

Krumholz received her B.A. degree from Georgetown University. In response to the frequent question of whether she is related to respected longtime planner Norman Krumholz, her answer is, "while I've met Professor Krumholz, my husband is from another branch of the Krumholz tree ... but who knows if you go back far enough!"

Larry P. Frey Larry P.

Among the numerous studies, visioning documents, and reports Frey has prepared are, "7th Avenue, A Visual Perspective", "A Walk Around Historic Ybor Square", and "Citrus County Coastal Impacts from the March 1993 Winter Storm." As Frey puts it, "Planning is always exciting for me since it takes me anywhere from walking down a vibrant downtown street, to trudging through a pristine wetland, to spending a couple of days aboard an aircraft carrier at sea." Lee A. Krohn Lee A. Krohn, AICP is the Planning Director for the Town of Manchester, Vermont. Krohn earned a bachelor's degree from Franklin & Marshall College and a master's degree at Duke University, and graduated with the inaugural class of the Vermont Leadership Institute.

The late Wayne Lemmon Wayne was a real estate economist, with a background in architecture and urban planning.

Wayne was the author of The New "Active Adult" Housing, in Issue 51 of the PCJ The Anti-Sprawl Mantra, in Issue 37 of the PCJ, and the The Market Analysis Workbook published by AMACOM in 1983, and gave many presentations on development economics at conferences of the APA and IDEA. Lemmon held degrees in Architecture from Cornell University, and Urban Planning from City College of New York. Ross Moldoff Ross Moldoff was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and raised in the Midwest (Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Columbus, Detroit). According to Moldoff, "Moving back to New Hampshire for my junior year of high school generated a strong interest in city planning. ... I was struck by the tremendous differences between Midwestern and New England landscapes and wanted to learn more about them." He majored in Environmental Studies and Economics at Colby College in Waterville, Maine, then received a Masters in Regional Planning from the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, Massachusetts. After brief stints at regional planning commissions in Dover and Exeter, New Hampshire, Moldoff came to Salem, New Hampshire as the Planning Director, where he has been for the past 17 years. His professional interests focus on using better design to improve the quality of development and controlling strip development in particular. Moldoff has published several articles on this topic, including Controlling Strip Development in the Winter 2004 issue of the Planning Commissioners Journal. Christine Brauer Mueller Christine Brauer Mueller has attended Planning Commission, BZA, and County Commissioner meetings in Dearborn County, Indiana since 1995. Dearborn County is located in southeast Indiana and has become a bedroom community of Cincinnati, Ohio and the rapidly developing northern Kentucky region around the Greater Cincinnati Airport. During these years a small and diverse group of citizens from all over the county have formed a loose network that provides expertise to local citizens faced with planning issues in their neighborhoods. They strongly supported changes in the Planning and Zoning boards and the hiring of a planning director for the county. Mueller holds a BS in Biology from Mount St. Joseph College and a MEd in Chemistry from Xavier University, both in Cincinnati. She taught junior high and senior high school for 5 years and introductory college science for 3 years. Mueller served on St. Lawrence School Board for 3 years, after her children graduated. While raising her 3 children she served as Business Manager for 13 years for what eventually became a 5-doctor internal medicine practice. Reading dry Medicare regulations prepared her well for the Indiana Code Laws for planning and zoning and local government. Larry Pflueger Over the past several years, Pflueger has regularly assisted with the review of articles submitted for publication in the Planning Commissioners Journal. Pflueger is a Principal Planner with the Pinellas (Florida) Planning Council. The Council provides a forum for representatives of Pinellas County's 24 cities and towns, the unincorporated county, and the Pinellas County School Board to address countywide land use issues. The thirteen members (some representing groups of communities) provide policy advice and recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners, who are authorized by the county charter to act as the Countywide Planning Authority (CPA).
