I have had an interest in roads for as long as I can remember.\u00a0 Having grown up near US 30<\/a>, and traveling it to visit family, it and the Lincoln Highway are special to me. So when the chance of joining the LHHC Board of Directors was offered, I accepted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor<\/a> began in 1996, I was one of the first members.\u00a0 Originally, I was a “Friend.” Later became a “Friend for Life.”\u00a0 I had adopted my first a Lincoln Highway sign in 2001, and three years later became the first to have adopted one in each of the LHHC counties.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In 1998, I put together a video on the Lincoln Highway for a video production class I was taking at the time. I met the Director of the LHHC, Olga Herbert, then and have known her since.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In recent years, the LHHC has expanded into fundraising ventures such as offering ballroom dancing classes.\u00a0 I offered to drive my parents to one, in order to get a free meal afterwards and take pictures during. There was an LHHC representative there that I have known since I was a child.\u00a0 He and my father worked together years ago, and known each other since.\u00a0 When I came to pick up my parents, I ran into him, and we began talking.\u00a0 I mentioned the website and my involvement with the LHHC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In April, he contacted me about joining the LHHC Board of Directors.\u00a0 I jumped at the chance and said it would be an honor.\u00a0 The offer officially made at a July 13 meeting with him and Olga Herbert.\u00a0 This evening was the first board meeting I attended, which took place in Everett. I hope that this is the start of a beautiful relationship.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
