Lafayette's Citizen of the Year Don Jenkins was honored April 13 at a sold-out dinner attended by local dignitaries, friends and family all of whom agreed that Lafayette is a better place for all the time he has volunteered in so many capacities.

Lafayette Mayor Don Tatzin pointed out that Jenkins has been making Lafayette better since the '70s when he moved here; in other words, "For 40 of Lafayette's 50 years."

And Tatzin, with the beleaguered state of the city's planning commission still very much on his mind, could not help but wonder, "Since you volunteer for everything, do you have any interest in joining the planning commission?"

"I'm color-blind," replied Jenkins.

"Doesn't matter," retorted Tatzin.
