I really felt this needed its own thread. SVB, Griffin and Panozzo.
Lots had to happen to get this event going. Although he was an inductee, Mike Panozzo still did 90% of the leg work from negotiating with the site, communicating witH Matchroom, managing attending HOFers and their travel, laying out the room, etc, etc.
I did the emcee duties and managed the voting as obviously Mike couldnt do it. My wife, who is not part of the industry, managed the volunteers and all the attendee check in. This was the highest attended inductee ceremony ever, so the seating and check in was a tremendous effort.
Special thanks to former US Amateur Champion and 2024 Filler Slayer at the DCC, Raymond Linares, who provided the professional videography.
