Thank you, Herb Bacon, for supporting community
During these divisive and economically worrisome times, David Brooksâ column on Jan. 10 reminded us that âLeadership matters. Character matters.â No truer statement describes the impactful life of Herb Bacon. This humble, kind and thoughtful man and his family have enriched us all in Mesa County, the state of Colorado and the world.
Ten years ago, I went to the Republic of Georgia to implement a mentoring program for youth involved in the Georgian Ministry of Justice. Herb contacted and gave me a donation to help the Georgian Mentoring Program get started halfway around the world. He and Laura May had visited this former Soviet Union State in 1991 when for the first time in 74 years the Orthodox Churches could ring their bells.
