Elder statesman and longtime Lafayette resident Marechal Duncan was chosen as the Citizen of the Year for 2015. It was a tough decision for the panel; the city is lucky to have so many residents who selflessly donate their time and energy to make life in this little slice of paradise better. With more than a half century of community involvement, Duncan, at 95 years old, is still involved in organizations all over town from the Historical Society to the Lafayette Community Foundation. A dinner will be held in his honor at the Lafayette Park Hotel on March 27. For more information, contact the Chamber of Commerce at (925) 284-7404 or visit www.lafayettechamber.org.
