Marshfield's 150: Heroes and Leaders, Past and Present, 212 W Third Street, Marshfield, WI (2026)

10/23/2024

This week we are happy to name Chris and Erin Howard as the final inductees in Marshfield’s 150: Heroes and Leaders, Past and Present register, Chris and Erin Howard
were nominated by the North Wood County Historical Society

During the past twenty-plus years, a local couple, Chris and Erin Howard, doing business since 2018 as Howard Properties and Development, have breathed new life into some of the city’s iconic downtown business buildings. Their passion for history in general, and Downtown Marshfield more specifically, has led them to specialize in developing projects to provide both commercial and residential spaces in Downtown Marshfield.

Erin shared, “with our business, we feel it is important to highlight our tenants, but Chris also feels it is extremely important to give credit and highlight those in the past who have shaped Marshfield and the buildings that we all have grown to love and embrace today. For example, whenever we purchase and restore a building, it is important to Chris to refer to the building by the original owner’s name.”

Some of the buildings where you can see Chris and Erin’s handiwork include the Noll building, at 111-121 S. Central Avenue, home to Uptown Coffee (moving to The Vault, 211 S. Central Avenue as of Nov. 1) and Kaelie’s Kandles & Company. The Deming Building, at 201 S. Central Avenue, home to MOJO’s Pasta House, Cajun Cook Shack, and Bleu Plate Deli, Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Mema D’s, Marshfield Area Habitat for Humanity, Golden Lamb, Elite Massage, Holistic Empowerment and Hub City Times. Hotel Charles, at 170 S. Central Avenue, home to Victory Apparel & Promotions, What Goes Around Comes Around Consignments, Hub City Ice Cream and Charles Apartments. The Upham building, at 200 S. Central Avenue, is home to Dave’s Guitar Shop - just to name a few of their restoration projects and properties.

Former Main Street Marshfield executive director, Kaelie Gomez said, “The Howards always have the community at heart. Every decision they make they thoughtfully consider and try to determine an outcome that serves beyond themselves. Revitalization takes risks, and they began taking risks downtown early on. They've championed our cultural center, set an example in quality historic preservation, and invested in our sense of place.”

Chris and Erin’s efforts in downtown restoration and revitalization haven’t gone unnoticed. They have been recognized by Main Street Marshfield for their accomplishments, and earlier this year were given the City of Marshfield Stewardship Award. That award recognized the Howards’ efforts to preserve, rehabilitate and modernize many historic buildings within the community and especially within the Central Avenue Historic District, while still maintaining the building’s historic integrity. They had previously been recognized by the Wisconsin Association of Historic Preservation Commissions with Awards of Excellence for their work on the Noll and the Deming buildings.

Mayor Lois TeStrake said, “We are fortunate that these two settled here in Marshfield, as they work diligently to keep improving with all their heart and souls.” She went on, besides their restoration efforts, “they have both contributed to the city in other ways, Erin as a member of the Main Street Marshfield Board of Directors and the Historic Preservation Commission, and Chris as a member of the Business Improvement District. Two terrific assets to help make our City even greater!”

With this story, we close Marshfield’s 150: Heroes and Leaders, Past and Present project. As originally intended the project would collect and share stories of people, with associated places and events, prepared by community members. In essence, these submitted stories have created a unique digital record of our local history. During the past two plus years we received about 180 nominations at the Everett Roehl Marshfield Public Library link, delivered in print, or by email. Nearly all the “complete” nominations were published in the Hub City Times, and later our page.
We were pleased to read the many great nominations received, while adding a few of our own. We hope that you have enjoyed reading though these stories and recognizing the people who made them possible.
Nominations that weren’t published were generally too brief or the information didn’t relate to Marshfield. And of course, we could only publish the stories that were submitted.

Before closing, I’d like to thank everyone who submitted nominations, and also acknowledge the staff of the Everett Roehl Marshfield Public Library, the Hub City Times and the North Wood County Historical Society for their commitment and support of this project. I want to especially thank Mehta Hess, Steve Apfel, Kris Leonhardt, Mike Warren and the late Thom Gerretson for their help with this project.

This week we are happy to name Ken and Joellen Heiman as the 150th inductees in Marshfield’s 150: Heroes and Leaders, Past and Present register, Ken and Joellen were nominated by Michelle Heiman.

Ken and Joellen Heiman created a life in Marshfield centered around hard work, family values and a commitment to their community. Joellen worked with her siblings on their family's farm that has since become a favorite in Marshfield for milk, ice cream and cheese. Weber's Farm Store was established by Joellen's parents in 1955. While Joellen and her siblings worked on the farm, Ken was working with his parents making cheese. Ken moved around a bit when he was younger, but his folks ultimately planted their roots in Lincoln Center. This was a co-op that was eventually purchased by the Heiman family and became known to the Marshfield community as Nasonville Dairy.

After the union of Ken and Joellen in 1974, Joellen established a career in health care and Ken finished his architectural design in Wausau. The couple loved living in Wausau but knew that they wanted to be closer to their families to start their own. The couple moved back to Marshfield and Ken worked, with his brothers, alongside his father to master the art of cheesemaking. Since that time, the Heiman family has been recognized for the masterpieces they create daily at the cheese factory.

Joellen’s family also worked hard to perfect the process of serving customers with the freshest milk possible. Since the start of Weber’s Farm Store, the list of products sold has grown to so much more than milk. On any day, aside from Sunday, you can drive by and see families smiling and making memories in the playground outside.

Both Ken and Joellen’s parents believed strongly that their lives were orchestrated by their Lord. To this day, both family stores are closed on Sunday to respect Him and take time for their families. Faith is one of the foundational pillars of the life they created, family and the community are the two other pillars that make the bond between Ken and Joellen so strong.

These family businesses were not built by Ken and Joellen alone. It was the systematic power of family working together over generations that have created two businesses that are now well established and continue to grow each year. Family isn’t always blood though and the community of Marshfield has become part of Ken and Joellen’s family and hence the third pillar of their success.

Chances are if you attend a community event you have seen the Nasonville Dairy logo hanging somewhere identifying them as a sponsor. That is for one simple reason, Ken and Joellen were taught to never take anything for granted and to pay-it-forward. So next time you go to a sporting event, check out the fair, go to a dairy breakfast or attend a fundraiser, look for the Nasonville Dairy logo. That logo is there because Ken and Joellen, along with their families, respect and value their three pillars: faith, family and community.

This week we are happy to name Joyce Billings as the 149th inductee in Marshfield’s 150: Heroes and Leaders, Past and Present register. Joyce Billings was nominated by Eileen Kelz, Jane Kennedy and Georgette Frazer.

Joyce Billings is a fiber artist. In Marshfield she’s best known for her woven, quilted and knitted creations. Those of us who are lucky enough to know her also know that it doesn’t stop there. In many ways, she has also woven us and the whole community together. In her many roles in life as artist, wife, mother, grandmother, friend, co-worker and neighbor she has helped so many of us find and strengthen the common fabric that exists between us. In the process, she creates order, beauty and a whole lot of good times!

There have been times when she’s worked outside of the community’s spotlight. She’s been the “family glue,” raising children, coordinating multigenerational family reunions, lending a willing ear to the stories of her family, and then writing up and sharing many of them. She gifts us with handcrafted treasures - enduring gifts individualized to her loved ones’ tastes and needs. Her home has always been a warm and colorful oasis, touched by her love of natural objects: seasonal collections of flowers, shells, fall leaves and chestnuts.

Growing up in Wyoming, Joyce’s childhood was spent exploring the ranches and foothills near the magnificent Big Horn range. She enjoyed a life that was close to the land, accompanying her father and siblings on hunting and fishing trips. She excelled in school, graduated with her RN from the University of Wyoming and then began service in the Navy as a nurse.

She met her husband, Ken, while working at a Naval hospital in Philadelphia. After serving in the Navy they moved several times, with Joyce offering her healthcare skills as well as office coordination and bookkeeping support to her husband’s medical practice. She transitioned to office management and accounting work when they settled in Marshfield, taking courses at the UW campus and passing the CFP (Certified Financial Planner) exam along the way.

Several local firms enjoyed the gifts of her accounting and organizational skills and experience. She was an office worker for Marshfield Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MACCI) and Time Federal Savings and Loan. She then managed office operations at Lifetime Financial Services for over 20 years before her retirement. Joyce enjoyed creating more efficient ways to do the work. She left her desktop clean every night, as if to confidently say, “We’ve got this.”

There have been other times when Joyce has stepped into a leadership role in a critical moment, such as in 1996 when she acted as the volunteer Executive Director of the newly launched Marshfield Area Community Foundation and led fundraising efforts to secure the group’s first dedicated office and first paid staff position. She wouldn’t let go of her unpaid job until she knew it was safely in the hands of a qualified, paid manager, Terry Malueg.

She formed a local Creativity Group which was behind (along with others secretly known as the “Bodacious Bombers”) the yarnbombing of downtown Marshfield, wrapping sculptures, light poles and other fixtures downtown in yarn creations. To memorialize the downtown’s yarnbombing, she wrote a children’s book called “Ribbit’s Quest,” about two hand-knitted animal friends who lived in the tree outside of the Public Library and went on adventures together, which she has shared with many including the Everett Roehl Marshfield Public Library. The Creatives also knitted and crocheted a Coral Reef display for the library; and for years dressed a sculpture, Tillie the Turtle, in seasonal clothes outside of the MACCI office. As President of the New Visions Arts Board, Joyce also chaired the annual Mother’s Day Art Fair which was a spring event that brought joy, and lovely artwork, for our homes and businesses.

Joyce enjoyed sharing her own artistic talents with others by teaching Navajo Weaving through the UW Continuing Education Department. She also brought her family together by developing an illustrated family history book that included each of her 40 cousins and their families.

Along the way, Joyce supported many other community groups with her artistic and organizational abilities. She was a Cub Scout leader, costumer for plays at the Senior High, Director on the United Way Board, helped to coordinate a regional weaver’s group, and managed funds for both the Fun d’ Arts and Cultural Fair events at the UW Campus in town.

Joyce credits the friendship and collaboration of many others for all that she’s accomplished, especially mentioning Marilyn Hardacre, Betty Ptacek, Carl Meissner, Paul Rogers, Ann Waisbrot, John Bittrich, and Lori Belongia.

Our lives will necessarily hold moments where things come together and times when things seem to be coming apart. In a dynamic world, creating order and beauty from the craziness of daily life is sometimes difficult to achieve. Joyce Billings has dedicated her life to creating joy, beauty and togetherness for her family, her friends and her community.

This week we are happy to name Thomas Kraus as the 148th inductee in Marshfield’s 150: Heroes and Leaders, Past and Present register. Thomas Kraus was nominated by his granddaughter, Madison Kraus.

It was a warm, misty Monday morning on June 7, 1948. The weather wouldn’t stop two brothers from Rozellville on their first of many daily, nine-mile hitchhikes into Marshfield to play peewee baseball. This is where Tommy Kraus, age 12, and his older brother Jerry, fell in love with the game.

The younger Kraus boy would turn this into his life-long passion. Tommy quickly excelled at every level that he would play. Beginning at the age of 16, his summers would include playing in the local adult Yellow River Baseball League. His talents immediately drew the attention of many central Wisconsin baseball clubs and there rarely was a weekend that he wasn’t playing ball.

In 1954, he enlisted in the United States Air Force. His training as an airborne radar specialist took him to Otis AFB in Massachusetts. While visiting the base gym and tossing the baseball, Kraus drew the attention of a "fullbird” Colonel, who happened to be the base’s baseball coach. Kraus was immediately invited to the team’s practice that evening. From there, his pitching talent became his ticket to, not only being a member of the squad, but also garnered him the MVP award at the end of his first season.

Otis AFB was a member of the semi-professional Cape Cod League (CCL). The CCL was known then, as well as today, as being the best summer college baseball league in the country. Kraus was selected to play in the CCL All-Star Game at Fenway Park in Boston against the Red Sox minor league All-Stars. He is still one of only a couple dozen pitchers in CCL history to throw a complete game no-hitter. In 1956, he pitched for New Bedford in the CCL and helped them qualify for the National Baseball Congress (NBC) Tournament in Wichita, Kansas. In 1957, he pitched for Stewart AFB who eventually lost to Andrews AFB in the Regional Air Force Tournament championship game. Andrews qualified for the Air Force Worldwide Baseball Tournament, adding him as one of three allowed pick-up players for further play. Andrews went on to win the tournament with Kraus pitching in two games.

While making a name for himself in the New England area, he drew heavy attention from both the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox farm directors. After receiving offers from both organizations, Kraus signed a contract with the Red Sox in the spring of 1958. His professional career began with spring training in Ocala, Florida that year. Kraus pitched for three years in the Red Sox organization before an arm injury in 1959 cut his season short. Boston then released him in the fall of ’59.

In 1960, Kraus came back to the Marshfield area and rehabilitated his throwing arm. He was picked up to pitch for Greenwood in the summer of 1960. Kraus led the smalltown team to the NBC State Championship game before losing. He was selected as the 1960 State Tournament Most Valuable Player. This attracted the Washington Senators organization, which then signed him to a new contract. His time with the Senators ended mid-season due to a second arm injury, this time requiring surgery and ultimately ending his professional baseball career.
Kraus and his family moved to Janesville in 1970. There, he pitched for the city’s semi-professional baseball team. In 1972, he became the team’s player/manager. He did this for three years, one of which his team took third place in the State NBC Tournament. In 1974, he took the helm of the Beloit Blues semi-professional team, which he held for two years. Both Janesville’s and Beloit’s teams consisted of several former professional players.

In 1976, his family moved back to the Marshfield area. A year later, he took over the head coaching duties for the Marshfield Post 54 American Legion Baseball team which he did for three years. One of his most proud accomplishments was giving a small in stature, sophomore 2nd baseman a chance to compete with the older ball players on the team. This player, Gary Varsho, or known by Kraus as “Little Andrew,” possessed attributes that his coach picked up on the first time he showed up at practice – fierce commitment and a willingness to learn. These took Varsho to a Major League career.

In 1982, Kraus initiated and organized the newly formed Marshfield Baseball Club, later to be the Marshfield Chaparrals. Kraus took Marshfield’s semi-pro baseball to a level it had never seen before, including winning a 1991 Wisconsin State League championship. Along with local talent, Kraus recruited players from across the country and internationally to be a Chapparal. Players from places like New York, Florida, Hawaii, and Australia were products of his recruiting and collegiate contacts. Nine of his players signed professional contracts.

His desire to help players achieve their highest level of play drove him to more than two decades of Marshfield baseball involvement. During that time, the Milwaukee Brewers brought Kraus on as an associate scout and a pitching coach during their tryout camps. He brought tryout camps, youth baseball clinics, and an influx of Major League scouts to the Marshfield area.

Kraus’s contributions and achievements were driving factors in his induction into both the Central Wisconsin Baseball, and the Marshfield Area Baseball and Softball Halls of Fame. During his acceptance speeches, Kraus paid great appreciation to his wife and lifetime partner Margaret, for her unending support and selflessness while raising eight children so that he could live out his passion.

A close friend and Los Angeles Dodgers scout Dale McReynolds referred to Kraus on several occasions as “Marshfield’s Mr. Baseball.” Terry Ryan, a former player of Kraus’s and Minnesota Twins General Manager, called his former coach “a great example for young pitchers, and baseball players as a whole,” emphasizing the importance of respecting the game.

Thomas “Tommy” Kraus died in 2021. Marshfield baseball is better because of him. Love you Grandpa.

This week we are happy to name Phil and Jill Hiller as the 147th inductees in Marshfield’s 150: Heroes and Leaders, Past and Present register. Phil and Jill Hiller were nominated by Mike Warren

The history of Marshfield would change forever one day in 1978, when a 21-year-old man took a break from working in his father’s hardware store on South Central Avenue to visit the new restaurant which had moved in next door. The rest, as they say…

Boy meets girl when Phil Hiller decides to grab some lunch at Country Kitchen, where Stratford’s Jill Kaiser is working as a waitress. Three years later, the couple was married, on July 4, 1981.

And while the couple was starting and raising a family of their own, Phil was positioning himself to become a second-generation businessman, buying out his father Don in 1995 and taking ownership of Hiller’s True Value Hardware. Two years later, Hiller’s built a new store at 751 S. Central Ave.

All the while, Phil and Jill Hiller have been heavily involved in the Marshfield community.

Phil Hiller served as technical director for high school plays where he helped kids build sets for plays such as Guys and Dolls and Arsenic and Old Lace.

“I gotta tell ya, that was probably the most fun I’ve ever had in my life,” said Hiller. “Sometimes, on some of those stage crews, we’d have fifty people on the roster. It was really satisfying.”

The Hiller’s were also involved with Project Graduation, and for a number of years served hot chocolate and cappuccino in the MHS Commons before school.

And the Hillers rarely say no when asked for monetary or prize donations for various charities or organizations.

Within the business community, Phil served for many years on the boards of Main Street Marshfield and the Marshfield Area Chamber of Commerce & Industry, as well as the chamber’s Small Business Council. He was also heavily involved in MACCI’s signature event, Dairyfest.

“I was really pushing hard for the raffle and the button sales. Remember the buttons? I didn’t want the buttons to die and we did really well with that stuff, I think,” Hiller told me during our August 20 conversation in his office.

Phil was named MACCI’s Small Business Person of the Year in 1993. In 2006, Hiller’s was named ODC’s Employer of the year. The following year, the business was named the chamber’s Retailer of the Year.

Phil and Jill head up raffle ticket sales at the annual Parish Pull, and do the same one evening per summer during Hiller’s True Value Hardware Night during a Chaparrals’ baseball game at Hackman Field.

The Hillers are perhaps best known for coordinating the annual placement of thousands of American flags in every yard throughout central Wisconsin on the Sunday prior to the Fourth of July holiday, also their wedding anniversary. Since 2003, the Hillers have spearheaded the program, which began with 3,000 flags in Marshfield, but has since grown to more than 15,000 flags in Marshfield, Stratford, Spencer, Auburndale, Hewitt, Chili, Pittsville, Rozellville, Loyal, Colby and Milladore.

“You go along with the idea you may have heard that you give back,” Phil told me. “If the community supports you, you support the community.”

Through the years Hiller’s True Value Hardware & Just Ask Rental has remained a family-run business. Three of the Hiller’s five children—Amber, Ryan, and Jeron — are very involved with the business. And while Phil, three of their children, brother Jim and several dozen other employees run the hardware store, Jill has had several successful business ventures of her own. Jill ran a laundry service the couple bought in the mid-1990s. She now has a small, mobile ice cream stand and a larger business to service events such as weddings and funerals, something she calls her happy place.

If you ask Phil, his list of titles starts and ends with husband, father and grandfather. But you could also include successful businessman, philanthropist, pilot, expert water skier, and volunteer. For Jill, the list looks very similar – wife, mother, grandmother, entrepreneur, philanthropist, volunteer and more. Jill spends most of her time these days helping to look after the couple’s nine – and soon to be ten – grandchildren, all of whom live in Marshfield.

“You decide that you’re going to do something and then you do it,” Phil told me. “If I could sell it, I was having fun.

“I’m not sure Jill’s getting enough credit for all of which she had to put up with,” Phil added. “The number of events she went to all by herself. So, I have to thank her for that, there’s no doubt about that.”

Several years ago, Phil received the Gold Hammer Award from Estwing, recognizing his 50 years of dedicated service to the hardware industry. In 2023, Hiller’s True Value Hardware celebrated 60 years in business.

This week we are happy to name Paul Rogers as the 146th inductee in Marshfield’s 150: Heroes and Leaders, Past and Present register. Paul Rogers was nominated by Don Schnitzler.

Local businessman, Paul Rogers, is an honest, straightforward, hometown guy whose big ideas, dedication and drive have greatly benefited friends and neighbors here in Marshfield.

As a high school student, Rogers was hired as an usher and worked with projection and maintenance duties for the local Adler Theater Company. At the same time, he was a member of the Parents-Youth Committee of the Marshfield Youth Council who used space in the old Adler Opera House for meetings and Youth Center events.

After he graduated from Marshfield High School with the Class of 1966, Rogers enlisted in the U.S. Army. He received his basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood, Missouri and advanced training at Ft. Lee, Virginia before being assigned to the Military Equipment Delivery Team at the American embassy in Rangoon, Burma, where he served as a general supply specialist. He received the Joint Services Commendation Medal for performance of his duties there.

When he returned to Marshfield in December 1969, he was rehired by the Adler Theater Company, now as assistant manager A short time later the manager, who was originally from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area left and Rogers was asked to run not only the Adler but the Highway 10-13 Drive-in Theater and the Rosa Theater at Waupaca as well. He did so well that two years later, as Bette and Anne Adler were attempting to get out of the theater business, he found himself with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to buy the two Marshfield theaters.

At just 23 years of age, with the help of his parents, a local bank, a Small Business Administration loan, and of course Bette and Anne’s full support, he was in the entertainment business. The sale was announced in June 1972.

The transition between owners was barely noticeable. Operations remained the same, with the only visible change, the renaming of the Adler Theater Company as Roger’s Cinema. A few years later, Rogers started an ambitious expansion program by buying a theater in Wisconsin Rapids, and in 1977, selling half interest in the theater company to a friend, John Koran, a successful Marshfield businessman. Koran brought in capital and provided valuable advice, but Rogers remained the active management of Rogers Cinema.

Rogers "twinned,” turned a single theater into two, in both Marshfield and Wisconsin Rapids theaters. It became part of his operating philosophy, along with the use of matinees and staggering the times movies began.

Over the years, Rogers bought, leased and sold theaters, operating up to 48 screens in Wisconsin and Upper Michigan. Today, Roger Cinemas are in five cities, Marshfield, Wisconsin Rapids, Stevens Point, Wausau and Houghton, Michigan, operating 30 screens.

As president of Rogers Cinema Inc., Rogers served as a member of National Association of Theatre Owners of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan (NATO-WI & UP) Board of Directors. In 1995, he was elected president and national delegate of NATO beginning a 15-year record of service, making him the longest serving president in the association’s history.

In 1996, Rogers envisioned great things for his flagship theater here in Marshfield. Built in 1937 as the new Adler Theater, he saw a tired, old building needing work and proposed a major downtown renovation project that brought that theater from three screens to seven.

Shelia Ashbeck-Nyberg, then executive director of MainStreet Marshfield praised Rogers’ efforts saying, “his leadership in the development and growth of downtown Marshfield is contagious. He makes things happen.”

He continued to make things happen when in 2001, Rogers on behalf of the NATO WI & UP donated $50,000 to the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge being built in Marshfield. The theater owners' donation built and furnished the recreational area in the lodge.

In 2004, to honor the memory of his wife, Mary, who passed away the previous November, he saw a softball field at the Central Wisconsin State Fair dedicated as the Mary Rogers Field. Mary was a pioneer in the advancement of women’s softball in Marshfield. She was also the inaugural member of the Marshfield Softball Association Hall of Fame.

The following year, wanting to honor his parents, Adela and Lawrence Knutson, he had a memorial chapel built in the middle of Brooklawn Cemetery, a few miles south of Marshfield. The chapel has open walls, a cross designed into the floor, an alter relocated from another section of the cemetery and a large granite carving of Christ on the cross, which is dedicated in memory of Rogers' in-laws, Edward and Germaine Haley, his brother-in-law, Tim, and his wife.

Three years later, with Rogers leadership, funding from NATO, and support of the Hopperdietzel family the Veterans Garden and Memorial was also completed in the Brooklawn Cemetery.

In 2015, Rogers led efforts that resulted in the creation of Hardacre Park at the corner of Fifth Street and Central Avenue. He worked tirelessly developing the Park from an idea to the design, demolition of his old buildings and overseeing the construction of the park. Often working to seek the community’s financial support through the Marshfield Area Community Foundation.

In 2018, Rogers led the initial joint effort of the American Legion Post-54 and Main Street Marshfield, creating the Marshfield Honor Walk, featuring lamppost banner displays honoring local veterans with photos and personal descriptions. That project is just completing its sixth year and has provided $10,000 to the American Legion and $5,000 for MainStreet Marshfield annually. Rogers considers himself fortunate, “to honor these amazing men and women who have fought for our country's freedom.”

There have been many improvements at the Marshfield American Legion Building, in recent years – many of them, thanks in large part to Rogers’ vision and drive. But Rogers is quick to acknowledge the contributions of others, saying “the generosity of the community is unbelievable.”

Today, Rogers divides his time between Marshfield and a winter home in Florida. He continues to own the theater company with John Koran’s son, Scott. Rogers is chairman of the board and Scott serves as president and CEO.

“Having the theater locally owned and locally controlled, that gives me a wonderful feeling,” Rogers said. As for the things Rogers has accomplished, he said, “It’s not about me; it’s about our community “I do it because it's for the good of my friends, neighbors and community.”
