Today is
National PTA Founders' Day.
Mariettan
Alice McLellan Birney (1858-1907)
co-founded the Parents Teachers Association (PTA) in 1897.
There is a big memorial in front of
the Old Marietta High School, now Marietta Junior High School called the
Birney Memorial in her honor. She lived
on Kennesaw Avenue. There is a plaque in
front of the house she lived in.
She was about
the only claim to fame Marietta had
until Billy Joe Royal came along.
