We were saddened to learn that dedicated community member and businessman, Richard “Dick” Story passed away on May 23. Dick hosted the Arts Council’s Celebration of the Arts for many years and was known for his masterful interviewing style and engaging stage presence. Dick led economic development efforts in Carroll and Howard counties, earning statewide recognition, including induction into the Maryland Economic Development Association Hall of Fame. He will be remembered for the difference he made—in his work and his community. Our deepest sympathies go out to Dick’s family and friends.
