Doug Horn receives Presidential Citation. Photo by VIP Jessie Tucker Volunteer Manager Reggie Murray congratulates Volunteer Doug Horn on completing a total of 565 volunteer hours for 2007. Doug Horn "I am often asked why I like being a volunteer at William Howard Taft National Historic Site. There are actually three reasons. First, I have the opportunity to work with some great people at the park. Second, I also have an opportunity to interact with a wide range of very interesting visitors from all over the world --- from Europe to Asia to Latin America. Finally, I enjoy the challenge of giving tours that are both interesting and educational, but also fulfill the needs of each particular visitor." |
