Dennis M. Robinson, Jr. became president of the Perry Hall Improvement Association in 2010.
Approaching his third year as president of the Perry Hall Improvement Association, Dennis M. Robinson, Jr. has a hard time visiting local businesses without seeing a familiar face. "It's an inside joke between me and my son. We're in the car and he says, 'OK, Dad, who are we going to see? You know it's going to be somebody.' It's a game when we're walking around the grocery store. Almost inevitably, we see someone we know around Perry Hall," Robinson said. Robinson, a married 37-year-old father of two, has lived in Perry Hall since 2004. He works as an attorney and partner at Whiteford Taylor Preston, LLP. Robinson took the PHIA's reins in April 2010, shortly after then-president David Marks officially began his successful run to …

Take a stroll through time and explore some of the Perry Hall community's Christmas traditions.
Through the years, there have been a variety of holiday traditions that residents of Perry Hall have been able to participate in during these festive days of Christmas. As readers of Perry Hall Patch settle down to celebrate the season with family members, friends, and neighbors, let's take a look at some of the ways in which our community has commemorated this holiday. One of the more unique traditions that existed in Perry Hall was associated with the Plummer family, residents of Perry Hall Mansion from 1924 until 1948. Through those years, William and Eva Plummer lived at the mansion with their three children—daughters Sybilla and Mary—and their son Adam. The Plummer family actively pursued farming on the 204 acres of land that …

He is related to other companions of Saint Nicholas in the folklore of German-speaking Europe.

Perry Hall Improvement Association president said school safety is a renewed concern.
Dennis M. Robinson, Jr., president of the Perry Hall Improvement Association, released the following statement. As residents of Perry Hall, we certainly do not need a reminder that no community is immune from violence in schools.

Many of us are experiencing sadness, anger, and a range of other emotions in response to this tragedy. Many of us are also experiencing the challenge of trying to comprehend something that is beyond comprehension, while trying to assure our children (and ourselves) that our children are safe in schools. Please keep the community of Newtown, CT in your thoughts and prayers as they struggle through this …
Perry Hall High School Principal George Roberts and his approach to his job set a standard for excellence in leadership and citizenship.
Like most Perry Hall residents, I was particularly pleased to read the news that Perry Hall High School Principal George Roberts was recognized as the "Fifth District Citizen of the Year" for 2012. Councilman David Marks couldn't have made a more appropriate and timely gesture to showcase this fine member of the Perry Hall community. I first had the pleasure of meeting George Roberts shortly after his arrival as principal, back in 2008. Principal Roberts wasted no time in coming to meet with the board of directors for the Perry Hall Improvement Association, of which I was a member. Roberts shared with us the results of a detailed planning effort that he and staff from the high school had just completed. This document was the embodiment…

A Perry Hall resident made a special delivery this week.
Dennis M. Robinson, Jr., president of the Perry Hall Improvement Association, submitted the following as a letter to the editor. People often use the Patch and other online sites to anonymously post complaints, criticisms, etc. regarding a wide range of topics. I am taking this opportunity to tell a story about a random act of kindness. On Sunday afternoon, a stranger knocked on my door. Although we are generally reluctant to open the door if we do not recognize the person, I opened the door. The person standing in our doorway told me that she lives in the same house number on a different street in 21128 and frequently receives mail intended for my address. She proceeded to tell me that, although she routinely returns packages to the post…

It is good to hear of the acts of kindness during the Holidays. Although,I only wish that this would continue all year round. Like holding a door open for someone or helping load the groceries in front of the store. So many times while at the mall or store the person in front of you just lets the door close in front of you or has to be the first one in the door. Or just opening the car door for … more ›
