JOHN STENGER - BEEBE SIT DOWN & SHUT UP



JOHN ROBERT STENGER

1971 NATURALIST AT LEWES


Last night, Wednesday January 27, 1971, at a Lewes Planning Commission Public Meeting

John Stenger, Rehoboth High School teacher, was ordered from the speakers stand by the

Commission's chairmen, Dr. James Beebe, Jr.,

Stenger had said it would take an hour for him to address the ecology and importance of the

dune's near Lewes. An audience of more than 200 was split on the issue whether to hear or

curtail Stenger.

The meeting issue at hand was a proposed development program for Lewes where Lewes

mayor Al Stango and the chairman, Dr. James Beebe, Jr., called for additional changes

that want industrial land use expanded and retained, calling for possible zone changes.
