NOVA Parks has erected a new sign near the W&OD in downtown Herndon, commemorating how Jim Crow laws resulted in segregation and discrimination against African Americans traveling the W&OD railway. The laws reflected a shameful period in American history and were finally repealed in the late 1960s.

Larry and Donna love the water, helping people, being active, and connecting to the Herndon community. They have lived in Herndon for over 30 years. Living in Herndon allows them to be near family and their two grandchildren. In 2018, both retired from the Department of Defense, and when they retired, they made it a priority to stay active.
Earlier in his life, Larry competed internationally in the modern pentathlon (pistol shooting, fencing, swimming, horse riding, and running events). Donna has always enjoyed being physically active. Larry is also a member of the Reston Masters Swim Team. One day at swim team practice, he saw a flyer explaining the Herndon Community Center (HCC) is hiring lifeguards and providing free training. Larry and Donna both thought this could be an excellent way to learn a new skill, earn extra money, be active, and enjoy the facilities and drop-in fitness classes at the HCC for free. Most of all, becoming a lifeguard would be one more way to be involved in the community. They completed lifeguard training with HCC staff, passed the lifeguarding test, and got hired!
You can find Larry and Donna working during the midday a couple of days a week. The midday shift is especially challenging for our staff to find lifeguards to work. Working at this time is a plus for Donna and Larry because they can work and be home to spend time with the grandchildren after school.
Donna and Larry enjoy getting to know people who swim at the HCC, especially the regulars. Their pride in their work beams, and they are happy to help. We are grateful for all our staff, especially staff like Larry and Donna.
Want to be like Larry and Donna? Let us help! To learn more about working with the HCC, visit herndon-va.gov/jobs or call 703-787-7300. The HCC is willing to train and adjust our schedule and programs to meet new or potential employees’ schedules and interests.
