25 Year Promotion Award
by Al Myers
USAWA President Denny Habecker and the "first Lady of the USAWA" Judy Habecker receiving the 25 Year Promotion Award.
Another “special award” presented at Nationals was the 25 Year Promotion Award. This award went to the 4 Meet Promoters who have promoted the most National Championships over the 25 year history of the USAWA. These 4 promoters each have promoted 3 Championship events. They are: Denny and Judy Habecker (2010, 2007, & 2000), John Vernacchio (2004, 1989, & 1988), Bill Clark and Joe Garcia (2001, 1997, & 1995), and Art Montini and John McKean (2002, 1999, & 1991).
So to sum it up – these 4 promoters together have promoted about HALF of the National Champinships to date! That’s worthy of a special award in my book! Congratulations!!!
