All "Jean Valjeans" of the Triangle, Please Step Forward

This morning I was reading about a glorious time when an entire people were prosperous.  How we can begin to get to such a place here in the Triangle region of North Carolina?   It's a tall order, but why not shoot for it?

There was a similar people in the book Les Miserables.   How did they get to this point?  It was the work of one man, Jean Valjean.  It was said of him:

"He makes the entire region prosperous. There is no pocket so obscure that it didn’t have a little money in it. No dwelling so low that there wasn’t a little joy within it.


Father Madellan made his fortune but a singular thing and a simple man of business did not seem as though that was his chief care. He seemed to thinking much of others, and little of himself."
So who's willing?  Are you that Jean Valjean for the Triangle?  By the way, we can have more than one in our area.  No need to sign up.  Just get to work.
