Meadow Lark Washington, LCSW-C

I was walking down the hall to the office of a doctor I see, when I noticed the above inscription on another office door nearby. I guessed, correctly, that LCSW-C means a social worker, but it took me till I got home, after the appointment, to verify that the name of the guy from the Harlem Globetrotters is Meadowlark Lemon, not Washington. Just some other person named Meadow Lark, I guess. But boy, the thoughts that ran through my head!

You don’t live in the DC area, do you? I think Joe Washington of the Redskins had a wife name Meadow Lark.

Baltimore area. It could be her.

One of the most prolific running backs in Sooner history, Joe Washington answered the call for his alma mater once again, returning to Norman [Oklahoma] to serve as special assistant to the director of athletics/executive director of the Varsity O Association in May 2007. Washington, who ended his Sooner career as the all-time leading rusher in school history, returned to Norman after living and working in the Washington, D.C. area for a number of years.

. . .

He has been very involved in charitable organizations, volunteering his time with the Maryland Special Olympics and serving as chairman of the [Anne] Arundel County Association for Retarded Children.

. . .

He and his wife, Meadow Lark, have a grown daughter, Brandy.

Meadow Lark Washington, social worker, office near Baltimore; Joe Washington, involved in social service, lived in D.C. area for a while, wife’s name is Meadow Lark. I think we can rule out coincidence.
