"My wife, Kitty, and I grew up in Carmel and decided upon Irvington when we returned to Indiana after 25 years away because of its great sense of place, the quality of life, and the passion the residents have for the neighborhood. I enjoy volunteering with IDO for a number of reasons, but mostly for the opportunity to be directly involved in activities that contribute to the quality of the neighborhood."
