Simeon-David Marable, president and curator at Levittown Internationally Known Communities, has been recognized by Marquis Who’s Who Top Artists for dedication, achievements and leadership in artistic expression.

According to a press release, Marable’s passion for the arts began when he was a student at Lea College in Albert Lea, from which he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in art and English in 1970. Upon graduation, he served as a seventh- and eighth-grade art teacher with the Pennsbury school system in Pennsylvania for 18 years. Soon thereafter, he became a ninth- and 10th-grade art teacher with Charles H. Boehm High School from 1988 to 1990 and ninth- and 10th-grade art teacher with Medill Bair High School from 1990 to 1999.

He is also been a long-standing member of the National Trust for Historical Preservation and program director of Dream of America.

Levitt and Family Historical Museum, which has showcased the family’s history from 1952 to the present day, and the developer of Levitt Mobile, which houses memorabilia and photographs of the 1950s era in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
