At an early age, I remember my father saying that you make your mark in life not by what you do in business, but by what you give back to the community. So I have always had a vague sense of the importance of service. And certainly my parents set a good example through their own community involvement. But it took me awhile to find my niche in the world of civic affairs. Sure, I participated in the ubiquitous “young professionals” groups around town. But I did so more out of a sense of obligation than genuine interest.
When I found a way to combine my love of history with civic participation, however, my attitude toward community service changed. Eventually, it led to my pro bono involvement in the Mount Olive Cemetery lawsuit.
