Those who live their duty to their community daily are too
numerous to mention, but I’d like to highlight a few. Nurses,
such as Thelma Hodges, the first Red Cross worker at NCH;
Erika Hinson, key volunteer at Neighborhood Health Clinic and
Johanna Dettis, retired US Navy Captain, deserve our undying
gratitude for their continuing work in our community. Veterans,
such as Bob Young, Marine Corp League and key volunteer for
New Beginnings and Don Tallon, WWII POW and officer of the
Combat Infantrymen’s Association, embody this spirit of giving back
long after retirement.

These individuals unknowingly pay homage to those pioneering
families, who made Naples a better place to live by carrying on the
tradition of giving back. And that is something that doesn’t come
from a magazine article. It comes from a thankful heart.
