I spoke with Diana Brose, member of Woodbury Monthly Meeting who shared a fun, family and Quaker community story about the game of Monopoly and Quakers involvement in its development. When Diana’s grandparents both taught at a Quaker school in Atlantic City, NJ they lived a low-income lifestyle. Their daughter was born in 1925 who was Diana’s mother. Since housing was so expensive, they spent their summers traveling in an old jalopy cross country visiting friends. Diana’s grandfather was a friend of Paul Cope, a Quaker who was co-owner of Hotel Morton, a Quaker owned family-oriented hotel.
