On the TRHA’s History Team, Andrew Jeanes serves as a leadership figure for the younger members of the team, and provides a wealth of experience and knowledge when the team is working on research projects. Andrew’s work bridges the gap between generations of TRHA historians, and worked closely with our late TRHA Historian, Derek Boles.
