BOARD OF GOVERNORS member Bruce Robinson of Lake City is a 75-year-old combat veteran who can recount decades of service that includes two tenures on The Florida Bar Board of Governors, membership on countless Bar committees, and leadership posts with business, community, and environmental groups, and leadership positions in his church. “If you’re going to be a citizen in a democracy, you have responsibilities and duties,” he says. “It’s not about what somebody else can do for you . . . .”

(Editor’s Note: In honor of Veteran’s Day, we are reposting this story from a year ago that was very well received.)

In the 1960s, Board of Governors member Bruce Robinson was standout at Florida State University, with memberships in the Student Senate, Gold Key, and the Omicron Delta Kappa honors societies all pointing to a bright future.
