  1. It’s hard to think of the right words to express what Wanda Gunning’s presence has meant to our Princeton Planning Board and community. The words that come to mind are kind, fair, reasonable and a model for what the head of a Planning Board should be. I liked walking into the room every time she was leading the meeting. She made us all feel at home.

  2. Jim: Well said. Wanda is the model that all Princetonian Board members should seek to emulate.

  3. Thank you Ms. Wanda Gunning for your years of service to the Municipality of Princeton. You have served with humility and grace.
