Tommy McMillan, Legends Chairman, introduced the next Legend of Honor, Phillip Twine. The guest speaker was Larry Rubama, sports writer with The Virginian-Pilot, who reminisced about the talent that has come out of the Hampton Roads area and expressed great pride in local athletes who have moved on to compete and play professionally.
