I have had an interest in roads for as long as I can remember. Having grown up near US 30 and traveling on it to visit family, it and the Lincoln Highway hold a special place.
When the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor began, I was one of the first members. Originally a "Friend" then became a "Friend for Life." I adopted my first a Lincoln Highway sign in 2001, and three years later became to first to have adopted one in each of the LHHC counties.
In recent years, the LHHC has expanded into fundraising ventures such as offering ballroom dancing classes. The one I offered to drive my parents to, in order to get a free meal afterwards and and take pictures during, had an LHHC representative that I have known since I was little. He and my father worked together years ago, and known each other since. When I came to pick up my parents, I ran into him and we began talking. I mentioned the website and my involvement with the LHHC.
In April he contacted me about joining the Board of Directors. I jumped at the chance and said I would be honored. It wasn't made official until July 13 when I met with him and Olga Herbert, Director of the LHHC, and the offer officially made. This evening was the first board meeting I attended, which took place in Everett.
