Todd Eaton Award Nominee Finalist - Boys State

The Todd Eaton Award is presented annually to the statesmen who most resembles the qualities of Todd and the spirit of the ALJBS program. Todd was the grandson of Harold “Chief” Eaton, and served as a volunteer and “runner” for eight years prior to attending the ALJBS program as a statesman in 1986; Todd was the unsung hero. He was a reserved, respectful, and helpful young man. He went above and beyond to take care of others within his boys state city and made sure they had a great week. He was not one for the limelight, he was not the big winner, instead he worked behind the scenes to help his Boys State city.
