During a speech at a
National Recreation and
Park Association convention,
Claude W. Ahrens gave credit for his
understanding of the
"Leave It Better Than You Found It"
philosophy to his own father,
John W. Ahrens..."he told us ten children
that we didn't come on this earth
accidentally,that we were part
of a planned process,that our
obligation in life was to leave the
world a better place than we found it.  
He made us conscious
that we wanted to contribute."
Claude W. Ahrens, 1994
