Abstract

Belalia Mubashir interviews Charles Love, a man who joined the American Legion Post 710 a few decades before the interview. Though it was a bit unorganized, Love saw future potential and was hopeful about making a difference. Post 710 created multiple funds, such as for families of deceased veterans, funds for the community, and scholarship money. Mubashir asks about Jack Hill in Post 710 and Love describes how the man made him feel welcome and impressed in how he treated veterans. Hill made several important decisions, such as helping buy a new Post location. Love also speaks about Hill putting bylaws and procedures in place in the Post which are still being followed. The guest was able to gain knowledge and guidance from Hill when they would talk. The interview ends with Love describing Hill as a pioneer, leader, and an impactful man. Particularly, Love tells how he sees Hill as being instrumental to Post 710 and what the Post was at the time of the recording.
