From the desk of the Director…
This month I am using my section to say farewell to an amazing cheerleader and RCAC Board Member, Adeline Brown. Adeline has been a part of RCAC since it was started in 1965. Below
you will see some of her many accomplishments.
Adeline began her service to Oakmont in 1947 as a secretary in the Borough Office. When she was named Oakmont Borough Manager in 1966, she was the only female municipal manager in Pennsylvania and one of only three in the United States. Under her stewardship over the next 40
years, Oakmont earned a reputation as one of the most attractive communities and most desirable places to live in Western Pennsylvania. In addition to her position as Borough Manager, Adeline
also served Oakmont in countless other capacities, from roles with the Oakmont Planning Commission to the Riverview Community Action Corporation to the Oakmont Historical Society, and she was credited with knowing everything there is to know about Oakmont and its history. Before her retirement in 2005, Oakmont honored her by naming a street in her honor – Adeline
Brown Avenue, which runs parallel to Allegheny Avenue in front of Hoffstot’s restaurant. Two years ago, Adeline and her husband Jim celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary and both of their
90th birthdays.
Adeline will be missed!
