Beyond being the epitome of good, decent people and raising a loving and responsible family, I've never met a couple that has given more to make this world a better place than the Kriegshausers. They have been walking, talking "points of life" involved in EVERY type of organization you can imagine -- civic, religious, political, community, business, educational, and fraternal. I wonder if they ever participated in an organization without eventually taking on volunteer or leadership roles.
