Women’s History Month | A Spotlight on Blog Author
This special post doesn’t have anything to do with Reed Brothers Dodge history, but it does have a lot to do with this blog’s author. I am so honored and proud to be featured in this article by The United States Air Force Band in recognition of Women’s History Month & International Women’s Day.

About Reed Brothers
I am a co-owner of the former Reed Brothers Dodge in Rockville, Maryland. Lewis Reed, the founder of Reed Brothers Dodge was my grandfather. We were a family-owned and operated car dealership in Rockville for almost a century. I served in the United States Air Force for 30 years before retiring in the top enlisted grade of Chief Master Sergeant in July 2006. In 2016, I received the Arthur M. Wagman Award for Historic Preservation Communication from Peerless Rockville for documenting the history of Reed Brothers Dodge in both blog and book format. This distinguished honor recognizes outstanding achievement by writers, educators, and historians whose work has heightened public awareness of Rockville’s architectural and cultural heritage, growth and development.6 responses to “Women’s History Month | A Spotlight on Blog Author”
