Linda Makes A Difference With Kindness: Patch Community Leader

SOUTHAMPTON, PA —Without community leaders, Southampton wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Debra Wallace Forman, a Southampton Pennsylvania reader who nominated Linda Kuepper.
