Wall of Honor induction tonight

Elizabethtown will hold its second Athletic Wall of Honor inductions tonight. A reception with light refreshments will be held from 6:30 to 7 p.m. in Daubert Gymnasium at Elizabethtown Area High School, with the induction ceremony slated to being at 7 p.m. in the gym. The induction is open to the public free of charge, so go out and check it out tonight.

As a reminder, here is the second class to be inducted:

Gene Garber, baseball. Garber was a standout pitcher for E-town and went on to play for a very long time in Major League Baseball.

David Whitmore, soccer. Whitmore was an all-state and All-American selection back in 1980.

Charlie Jackson, wrestling. Jackson is considered the father of the E-town wrestling program and was its first coach.

Tommy Miller, wrestling. Miller remains the only individual state champion in program history.

Jennifer (Williams) Mitchell, track, field hockey and basketball. Williams was a three-sport star for the Bears.

Richard D. Miller, athletic director. Miller was one of the first athletic directors for the district and also was a coach on Phil Daubert's staff.

The 1975 field hockey team. The very first PIAA state champions in Pennsylvania history.

The 1993 baseball team. This team also won a state title.

The inductees will also be honored tomorrow night at halftime of the E-town football game. The Chronicle will be printing a special insert highlighting all of the inductees individually on Thursday, Oct. 23, so be on the lookout for that as well.
