know about this.
I came to Indy in 1987 from Michigan and went to work for Dave Goodrich at F.C. Tucker, and one
thing I noticed that has left a lasting impression on me—and colored how I build relationships and network—was
the importance he and others at the company placed on corporate citizenship. By watching people like George Charbonneau and
Bill Moore help build our city, I came to understand economic development in a much different way than others do.
The Sports Corp. is integral to that understanding, because it reflects the best intentions of our business community and
a community-mindedness that some members of the old guard fear has faded. To that end, your article presented an interesting
“bookend” to the op-ed about the Indianapolis Tennis Championships at the front of the paper.
These
people, and this spirit, is part of why I stayed in Indianapolis, and over the years I have grown proud of the ownership our
business community takes in the future of our community.
