Bob Snelling Luncheon

Bob Snelling '65 Speaks at Chapter August Luncheon

Bob’s talk centered on his efforts with the Community Character Coalition of Douglas County. He then related that to the need for, and composition of, the character, ethics, and leadership curriculum at the Naval Academy.

The following two quotes were written by Douglas County High School students as they applied to win our annual Exceptional Character Student scholarships, which are awarded by the coalition every year.

“Changing society and making our world a better place begins with the individual. If individuals begin to change themselves and demonstrate moral character traits, it will eventually have an effect on others around them.”

“When we, individually, govern our lives with character and morality, the nation as a whole behaves with integrity, and individuals enjoy more and more freedom. When we ignore the founding concepts of freedom and the character behind self-government, we are headed down a sure road to ultimate personal and national destruction.”

Many thanks to Bob for his continued leadership in the community and for taking time to visit with us again!
