Celebrating Wahoos

   April 5, 2012

The buzz I get is every politico and self-important “power broker” has been scrambling for tickets to the Wahoos’ opener. The field will probably be crowded with people who want to be there for the celebration, but were scarce in 2006 when we were fighting to get the Maritime Park referendum passed.

Here’s my list of who deserves special recognition before the first pitch is thrown:

Late Vince Whibbs, Sr. — his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren
Late Jack Fetterman — Nancy Fetterman and their children and grandchildren
Former UWF president John Cavanaugh
Judge Lacey Collier
Mort O’Sullivan
Jeff DeWeese
Juanita Scott
Lumon & Lutimothy May
The 2006 City Council(excluding Marty Donovan): Mike Wiggins, PC Wu, Jack Nobles, J.D. Smith, John Jerralds, Jewel Cannada-Wynn, Mayor John Fogg, Ronald Townsend and Mike DeSorbo
Founding PYP members – John Hosman, Ashley Hodge, Cat Outzen Ellis, James Hosman, Jason Crawford, Michelle Rushing, Chad McDaniel, Richard Buckley, Jennifer Pate Buckley, Shaner Garner, Chelsea Taylor, Summer Burdick, Michelle Stephens, Avery Caldwell, Scott Warren
