      • I was awarded the Order of the Longleaf Pine by the Governor of North Carolina in 2018—a nominative award by one of our US Senators recognizing public service to the State—, making me an ambassador for the TarHeel State. The pay is low ($00.00) for such a high-sounding title. Quite seriously, the State has shown kindness to one of her citizens, It is is a tremendous joy to promote our state as I can. That is an easy gig, because “the Old North State” is our home, and the charms of her people, history, culture, and distinguished contributions to America are many.
