considerably different from that of our mayor’s; she grew up in New York City’s Riverdale section, earn- ing her bachelor’s degree from the College of Mount Saint Vincent and a master of science and professional diploma in administration from Manhattan College. She had never lived in a house – much less in the country – until her family moved to Mount Pleasant some 27 years ago, where she began her career as a teacher. “It was wonderful,” she said. “Tere was grass and dogs and all that.” “Our Mount Pleasant sounds a lot

Maybury revealed that she is actual- ly quite familiar with Mount Pleas- ant, S.C., because of our nationally recognized Medal of Honor Muse- um.
