Member Spotlight: Richard Maneval

I am a fourth generation resident of Whatcom County, living in Bellingham since 1974. Volunteering since I can remember. Working on public safety issues, our environment and economy.

I do a lot of research and reading. Enjoy learning about the history of Whatcom especially as a volunteer. Whatcom I have learned has one of the most diverse economies in the state of Washington.

I have met some very special people over the years, especially my wife who has Alzheimer’s. Because of that I have taken on the task of learning and reading about the brain. Working out at BAC and socializing with the other members helps a great deal in dealing with this Disease. Other members have expressed to me how important it is to be a member of BAC toward having a productive and safe life.
