2016 Community Hall of Fame
Seven individuals were inducted November 17 into the South Bend Community Hall of Fame. Inductees are Bruce Bancroft, a local attorney who has been involved in many community endeavors; Howard Buchanon, retired South Bend fire chief; Lois Whitacre Clark, long-time community activist and peace advocate; Joseph Luten, former school principal who died in 2012; Ann Puzzello, long-time former member of the South Bend Common Council and leader on the northeast side of South Bend; Gabrielle Robinson, IUSB professor and local historian; and the late Florence Troeger, former golf pro who will be the historical inductee.
Others who were honored at the banquet are City Councilman John Voorde, the Ideal Baldoni Distinguished Public Service Award; Peg Dalton, owner of Le Peep restaurant, the Distinguished Achievement Award; Electronics, Inc., the Corporate Contributions to Education Award; and REAL Services, the Distinguished Community Service Award.
More than 500 people attended the banquet at Century Center.
During the banquet, Mayor Pete Buttigieg presented a Key to the City to Steve Luecke, executive director of the Alumni Association. Buttigieg credited Luecke with laying the groundwork for many of the projects now underway in the city.
