Nick Mason served on the Chaska Park Board for seven years with a passion to help improve the quality of life for the community. As a journalist, Nick's first major newspaper assignment in the late 1960's was covering school desegregation in Western New York. He quickly took note that the children did not have a voice and made sure to provide their perspective in his newspaper coverage. Providing the underserved a voice as he continued to cover education, national politics and human-interest stories became one of his guiding principles and he often said, "everyone deserves a chance."
