“The
Tom Gregg Ship”
Named in
honor of
Tom
Gregg (1924-2005)
A past commodore of Shawnee Yacht Club , Tom was a man of tremendous warmth and perpetual good
humor. He had friends in all walks of life and served as a kind of
“troop leader” for the two central Topeka neighborhoods where he raised his
family. Long after his own five children left home, neighborhood kids would knock on
the Gregg's
door and ask if he could come to join their games. Tom’s support for youth and love of sailing are
brought together in naming this ship in Tom’s honor.
