Hello Dean Highlanders,
As some of you may know, the neighborhood association is interested in the history of Dean Highland. We’ve done some pretty cool historical work already — such as our research into the trolley lines that once criss-crossed Waco and Dean Highland, or the creation of our two small “pocket parks” – but we have also entered into a collaborative partnership with Baylor’s Institute for Oral History to gather the stories and memories of the people who have made Dean Highland what it is. You can read more about our “Voices from Dean Highland” project here.
We also thought it would be a good idea to introduce to you the Dean Highlanders who have so far participated in this project. So, without any further adieu, meet Ms. Dianne York!
Dianne moved to Alexander Avenue in 2021, and immediately integrated herself into a loving church home and the broader church community of Waco. Dianne is a veteran (Air Force) and is involved in several ministries.


Dianne contributed to the “Voices from Dean Highland” project on February 27th. Given that the neighborhood association’s stated goals are service, advocacy, and fellowship, please be sure to give Dianne a hearty greeting if you see her out and about at one of our service projects, advocacy efforts, or quarterly meetings. If you would like to collaborate with Dianne, or simply fellowship with her, shoot me (Brandon Christensen) an email and I’ll try to introduce you!
If you, or somebody you know and love, wants to participate in this project, shoot me (Brandon Christensen) an email and we’ll get started…
