The work of HOBY is an important factor in motivating future leaders to become full participants in our democratic process.  The challenges we as a people will face in the years ahead will be more intelligently and skillfully addressed because of the investment we now make in our youth… It is the children who give Nancy and me such hope.  They truly are saying no to the dangers of drugs and alcohol, and are standing up for what they know is right.  HOBY also gives hope – hope for the future of our youth and our nation.  Our deep appreciation goes to Hugh for his efforts.”
