Stand United
Gene Frenette, Sports Columnist for the Florida Times-Union, was our guest speaker this past week at the Rotary Club of Ponte Vedra Beach Sunset.
Gene has been employed at the Florida Times-Union since 1981 and has been a sports columnist since 1988. Although a native of Vermont, he has lived in Florida since right after he left college. He is married and has four children.
Ironically it was the same day the Jaguars rolled out their new logo and announced plans for the upcoming year. "Stand United" is the team slogan for the new year that will have a new GM, coaching staff, and potentially a lot of new players. The team has decided to keep tickets prices at the same rate for 80% of the stadium in the hopes that the already strong fan base supports the team even more.
Gene predictes this offseason for the Jags to be a very interesting one as the team tries to re-build through free agency as well as the draft. As the team turns over players it also has some very tough decisions to make on key players like Derick Cox and Blaine Gabbert.
It was a great evening with Mr. Frenette, and we look forward to having him back soon.
