Gratitude for Kennedy

Sat., Oct. 10, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

On Sept. 23, Coeur d’Alene City Councilmen Mike Kennedy and Ron Edinger spoke at the Coeur d’Alene American Legion Baseball board meeting. Edinger, a longtime friend of American Legion Baseball, was there to support the re-election of Kennedy and to bear witness to Mike’s statements to the board. Kennedy then expressed his strong support of CdA American Legion Baseball and his belief that the historic home field for this program should remain at McEuen Field.

Mike’s clear and public commitment to this long-standing community program and its rightful place at McEuen Field is deeply appreciated. It is my hope that the Legion Baseball family will take action and thank Councilman Mike Kennedy for his support.
