BRUCE MERRITT  |  SECRETARY

Bruce returned to Glendale in 2002, after working in New York City as a trial lawyer. He has been an active TGHS volunteer for a number of years, including as a docent for the annual Home Tour and as a member of the Neighborhood Walk group, planning and leading tours of Glendale’s earliest neighborhood. He and his wife Valerie live in a 1932 Spanish Colonial Revival home by George Postle, whose architectural firm designed several notable buildings in Glendale including Temple Sinai.
