Nancy Penn Smith Hannum and Roy Jackson will be inducted into the Chester County Hall of Fame on Saturday, Nov. 13.
The one-of-a-kind Mrs. Hannum, who died this spring, was the master for Mr. Stewart's Cheshire Foxhounds for more than 50 years and was an ardent conservationist.
Mr. Jackson, who will join his hugely popular racehorse Barbaro as a Hall of Fame member, is being honored for his commitment to baseball. It came as a surprise to me to learn that Mr. Jackson used to own the minor-league baseball teams the Tucson Toros and the York Pirates; served as president of minor-league baseball teams; and was formerly president of Convest, Inc., which represented professional ballplayers.
