WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) - The founders of a popular Delaware-based brewery, a longtime TV station owner and a former bank leader have been inducted into Delaware’s Business Leaders Hall of Fame.
WBOC reports Tom Draper, who owned multiple area TV stations before he died in a 2017 bicycle accident, was posthumously honored on Wednesday along with his daughter and son-in-law, Dogfish Head Brewery founders Mariah and Sam Calagione. Former Delaware PNC Bank president and CEO, Calvert Morgan Jr., was also inducted.
Junior Achievement of Delaware says it hands out the honors to business and industry leaders who’ve contributed to the state’s economic development.
President Rob Eppes says Draper was set to be inducted in 2022, but after his death the honor was moved up to coincide with his daughter and son-in-law’s honoring.
