About Us: The Board
| Directors |
Sylvia Ellsworth
President |
Sylvia Ellsworth moved to Shepherdstown in 1989. She is the mother of three lovely children. She and her husband own two music stores and catering business. Sylvia has seen the Station go from total disrepair to its current glorious state. She manages the Station reservations with grace and enthusiasm. In her spare time, Sylvia collects napkin rings and aspires to be a redhead. |
James Pantle
Vice President |
Jim Pantle, member since 2001 and the current board vice president, moved to Shepherdstown in 1969 when he became a professor of music at Shepherd College. From coast to coast and a few other places in between (undergraduate degree from Baker University in Kansas, master’s degree from the University of Oregon, and Ph.D. from the University of Maryland), the Kansas native cannot imagine living anywhere else but in Shepherdstown. "It is so multidimensional, historical, and home to such interesting people." Jim's favorite pastime is gardening. |
William Johnson
Secretary |
Bill Johnson has been teaching courses in economics and finance at Shepherd College since 1971. He was once the Chair of the business program at Shepherd, but is pleased to say that he no longer is involved in academic administration. He moonlights as an economic consultant and expert witness. He is a native of the Washington, D.C. area who fell in love with the Eastern Panhandle many years ago. He enjoys reading, sports and outdoor activities such as walking, biking, hiking and camping. |
Howard Mills
Treasurer |
Every organization that has beans needs a bean counter. Howard Mills serves in capacity as Treasurer for the Station at Shepherdstown. He learned to count beans on a farm in Indiana (where there are lots of them). He retired from a career in the Food Processing Business and moved to Shepherdstown in 2000. |
| Dabney Chapman |
Dabney Chapman is a former Foreign Service Officer who retired to Shepherdstown nearly twenty years ago. His work at U.S. diplomatic missions abroad -- western Europe, Russia, Turkey, Croatia and Afghanistan -- was largely cultural and informational. In the late 60's he headed the European Division of the Voice of America. For several years he taught Russian and German at Shepherd and remains active in the life of the Episcopal church and Shepherdstown Rotary. Reared and educated in Virginia, he advocates return to the Old Dominion of the lower Shenandoah Valley counties currently (mal)administered by Charleston. |
| Kitty Clark |
Kitty Clark is a dancer, choreographer, educator and arts presenter who has lived in the Shepherdstown area since 1999. In that time, she has searched high and low for beautiful wood-floored buildings where she can dance. At the Train Station she has found a home! She is the founder/director of the Goose Route Arts Collaborative, a not-for-profit organization that offers dance and other arts classes and annually produces the Goose Route Dance Festival. She and her students have discovered that if you wave to the train conductors during dance class, they sometimes wave back! When not dancing at the Train Station, Kitty can be found sweeping and mopping the wood floors there, and also in her garden overlooking the Potomac River. Kitty helps Sylvia book the station and maintains the website calendar. |
