Justin Timberlake (b. 1981)
Justin Timberlake co-founded a program supporting arts and STEM education for students back in his home state of Tennessee, and there's something I like about a guy who made it big well past his hometown and still routed real resources back toward the kids coming up behind him there. I've driven through more small Southern towns than I could ever list, plenty of them the kind of place where the local school's arts or science program is the first thing to get cut when budgets tighten, and it takes somebody who remembers what that town actually needed to fund the specific gap instead of just writing a generic check to something with a recognizable name. Timberlake's had a long career, plenty of chances to just stay in the industry that made him famous and never look back. Instead he pointed some of it home. That's a particular kind of loyalty I notice more than most people do, probably because I've spent twenty-two years watching which towns get remembered by the people who leave them and which ones don't.
Justin Verlander (b. 1983)
I taught third grade for thirty-eight years in the same little schoolhouse, and I've got a particular soft spot for anybody who stays excellent at something difficult for a long, long stretch of time instead of burning bright and fading fast. Justin Verlander's been one of baseball's most durable and dominant pitchers for close to two decades now, which in a sport that chews up young arms awfully fast is its own kind of quiet miracle. He's also put real money behind childhood cancer research through his own foundation, and I always notice when a person's giving points straight at children, because children can't advocate for themselves the way grown folks can. I had a student once, sweet boy, sick most of that year, and I've never forgotten how much it mattered that somebody outside his family kept showing up for him too. Verlander winning a Cy Young Award is impressive. Verlander still funding research for sick kids two decades into a demanding career is the part that tells you who he actually is.
Justin Vernon (b. 1981)
Justin Vernon, the man behind Bon Iver, co-founded the Eaux Claires music festival and put real support behind music education initiatives back home in Wisconsin, and there's a pattern I keep noticing in guys who made it out of a small town and then turned around and built something permanent there instead of just leaving it behind for good. My own musical tastes run heavy toward classic country and blues from the cab of a truck, not much toward indie folk, so I won't pretend to know his catalog the way I know Merle Haggard's. But the instinct to reinvest in the exact place that raised you, rather than treating your hometown like a story you tell at parties in bigger cities, is one I respect no matter what genre it's coming from. I've watched plenty of small towns get emptied out by people who leave and never look back. It's a different, better feeling driving through the ones where somebody who made it big actually came back and built something that keeps other kids' options open too.
