Robert J. Miller Oyster Fest
Guest blog post by Grace Miller, melanoma advocate and host of annual Robert J. Miller Oyster Fest:
The Robert J. Miller Oyster Fest is an annual event held in Maplewood, NJ. This event honors the life of Robert “Bob” Miller, while raising awareness for and funding melanoma research.
Bob Miller was a proud Maplewood resident for more than a decade. He lived near the heart of town, where he and Grace were raising their four young girls. He was a world-class architect who had just started his own architecture firm in New York City after years of working with some of the biggest names in the field, including Robert Stern and Michael Graves. A key focus of his practice was renovating the historic homes of Maplewood and the surrounding areas
“It is so heartening to see the community – our neighbors, our local merchants and countless volunteers – come out year after year and enthusiastically embrace a cause so close to my family. Incredible strides have been made in melanoma research in the past decade, and we want to keep doing our small part to defeat this disease.” – Grace Miller
