Harry Sanders Tribute
 |
In Memoriam Father of the Purple Line. The only cause that meant more to Harry than the Purple Line was good citizenship. How you reached the goal was just as important as where you arrived. ACT was founded in 1986 by six people in Harry's living room. We look forward today to a ride on the Purple Line through a more livable Montgomery County only because of Harry Sanders' perseverance. Through good times and bad, he pursued a vision of people working together on behalf of the community. |
