Sanford native Jimmy Love Sr., The Herald's 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award winner, has done it all. He played quarterback during the fifth annual East-West All-Star Game in 1953, spent 14 years as Lee County's voice in the N.C. House of Representatives, been in law practice since 1960, and has maintained a fervor for making Sanford and Lee County a better place to live. A strong believer in public education, Love now serves as the attorney for the Lee County Board of Education and Central Carolina Community College. Photo by Hannah Hunsinger, The Sanford Herald
