[edit] "Public Service"?

As an ex-working historian myself, I have considerable regard for Prof. Franklin's professional qualifications and publications, but categorizing his office-holding in the AHA and OAH as "public service" seems a bit odd. Serving on various national commissions certainly qualifies but I don't think I would characterize membership in professional organizations that way. . . . --Michael K.

Where would it most appropriately be put? Thank you. Skywriter 21:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
