The many generous volunteers who help make the center run well.
How long have you been involved with the Friends of Freedom Park?
I've been involved from the beginning, helping with the preparation of the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of Friends of Freedom Park.
What do you enjoy doing in your free time (hobbies,
etc)?
Time with my family, fishing, hunting for and polishing agates, gardening, traveling, and reading numerous magazines like Nature Conservancy, Archaeology, Smithsonian, Big River, National Geographic, Arizona Highways and Wisconsin DNR.
