New Board Chair for the Joel Chandler Harris Association
On Wednesday Harold Yudelson was elected as the chairman of the Wren’s Nest’s governing body, the Joel Chandler Harris Association.
Harold, retired from the shoe business, succeeds Marshall Thomas, who has been the board chair of the Wren’s Nest for the past five years (and change). The term limit is 2 years, but it took us that long to dupe someone into replacing him.
That’s Marshall and me, just after tricking Harold into accepting the position.
Please, do not worry about Marshall. We are not throwing him out on the street. Oh no, he will chair our fledgling advisory board.
Harold has graciously agreed to serve a one-year term. We’re lucky to have someone with his expertise, creativity, and sense of humor.
Plus, Harold is all about storytelling. His own arsenal includes 542 war stories, 319 anecdotes about the good ole days, 47 instances where his wife outsmarts him, and 1 dirty joke involving parrots. Board meetings will be a blast.

Both gentleman will be great in their new roles. Thanks to Marshall for his years of service! And thanks to Harold for taking on this challenge. Change is good.
I believe he actually has closer to 5,342 war stories and 1,567 anecdotes about the good old days. I should know; I’m his granddaughter and I’ve heard all of them.
