(From the Carthage Chamber of Commerce)The Hall of Carthage Heroes Oversight Committee is pleased to announce the election of four Carthage Heroes, one a double inductee, to the Class of 2021.
Founded in 2012, the Hall of Carthage Heroes, located inside the Fair Acres Family YMCA, is the fulfillment of a dream of Marvin VanGilder and others to recognize and honor Carthaginians whose lives or accomplishments have brought credit and recognition to Carthage, and who are worthy of emulation by today’s citizens. It honors heroes past and present, citizens of distinction, as well as outstanding athletes and teams.
The Class of 2021 was chosen by an independent selection committee of five people, representing various Carthage civic organizations, from nominations submitted by the general public.
These heroes join 86 other Carthaginians inducted to the Hall since 2012.
The Heroes of the Class of 2021 are:
WILLIAM CHASE PUTNAM, JR., Businessman, Philanthropist & Carthage Historian
ROBERT W. STANFIELD, SR., Music Man
VINCENT ALLEN TRIPPLETT, Youth Sports Champion & Coach
GREGORY WARREN KYTE, Multi-Sport Athlete, and WILLIAM CHASE PUTNAM, JR., Swimming.
For the full biographies and photos of this year’s inductees, as well as information on nominating someone for the Class of 2022, visit the Hall website at hallofcarthageheroes.org.
The installation ceremony for this year’s class will be held at 10:30 am on Saturday, November 13, 2021, at the Fair Acres Family YMCA. Family, friends, past recipients, community members and media are all invited to attend.
