Wayne Business Association awards honor volunteers
By Sam Strike
TThe Wayne Business Association awarded its 2010 Benjamin V.M. Wilson Community Service award at a dinner last month to Carol Tatta, who was founder and director of Family Forum, a parenting center, and former director and teacher of Central Nursery School, both in Wayne.
Tatta, a longtime Wayne resident and Eastern University graduate, "epitomizes service and leadership," according to the nomination submitted by her co-workers at the nursery school.
She was co-founder of the group Parents and Friends of Exceptional Children and co-chair of annual giving for Eastern University, and has done hours of pro bono parental consulting by telephone and in person over the years, according to those who nominated her for the award.
"There are a lot of families out there that Carol has helped," said her husband, Joe, at the WBA awards dinner April 15.
Benjamin V.M. Wilson, a local banker, was a community volunteer in Wayne and Radnor Township for many years until his death in 2000.
The WBA and Bryn Mawr Trust Company, where Wilson worked, honor his memory every year by awarding someone in the community who emulates his spirit and volunteerism.
Tatta is giving the award's $500 honorarium provided by Bryn Mawr Trust to Family Forum, the parenting center that she founded.
David Brennan, general manager of the Wayne Hotel, was this year's recipient of the Lawrence T. Adelberger Sr. Award, presented annually to a WBA member for exemplary volunteer service for the Wayne Business Association and its membership.
Accepting the award on his behalf at the WBA awards dinner was his colleague, Anita Sayers, executive director of marketing and public relations for the Wayne Hotel.
"David's dedication to and enthusiasm for the town of Wayne is so evident; he is Wayne's number-one champion," Sayers said.
Brennan, upon receiving the award, said that he is "truly humbled and I share this award with all of the WBA board members. It has been an honor to serve on the WBA Board for the past few years and a pleasure to work with all members."

The Real Philadelphia Story
With the passing of the glamorous East Coast heiress whose story was to rekindle Katharine Hepburn's career and provide Grace Kelly with her most famous role in "High Society",Ian Irvine examines the legacy of the original Tracy Lord
by Ian Irvine
Sunday Telegraph, April 16, 1995
Helen Hope Montgomery Scott died, aged 90, on January 9 this year at her estate, Ardrossan, near Philadelphia. Her obituaries were long and respectful, as befitted someone who had been prominent in wealthy Philadelphia society for more than 70 years. They emphasised her career as a highly eligible heiress and party girl in the Twenties, and as a lavish hostess after her marriage. They mentioned her doing the Charleston with Josephine Baker in Paris, dancing a foxtrot with the Duke of Windsor at El Morocco ("He was pretty good") and lunching with Sir Winston Churchill on Aristotle Onassis's yacht. But all the obituaries opened with the element in her life which had had some curious consequences far from the ordinary life of a wealthy socialite - and which made her indirectly responsible for James Stewart's only Oscar, the establishment of Katharine Hepburn as a major film star and, later, the popularity of the Christian name Tracy. For Hope Montgomery Scott was the inspiration for Tracy Lord, heroine of The Philadelphia Story.
In 1940 the film was "socko boffo" in Variety-speak: winning Oscars and breaking box-office records. But since then it has retained its popularity, regularly featuring in lists of favourite films. The charm of this screwball comedy is obvious: a rich girl has doubts on the eve of her second marriage and, after an episode of self-discovery, remarries her first husband. Cary Grant as the husband and James Stewart as an intrusive reporter both give excellent performances. The humour is sophisticated, witty and bracingly anti-romantic. But it is the personality of Tracy Lord, incarnated by Katharine Hepburn, that compels: a character compounded of beauty, brains, wit, wealth, pedigree, position and, eventually, vulnerability.
