Halvorson, Jefferson High School Class of 1984, career US Navy, Commanding Officer of USS John McCain & USS Mobile Bay; Michael Tisserand, Jefferson High School Class of 1982, critically acclaimed professional writer/book author and former newsweekly editor; and Patty Wicken, Jefferson High School Class of 1967, radio personality and talk show host, and award recipient of the Eagles ‘Citizen of the Year’.

“There are many unique and outstanding accomplishments by the Hall of Fame recipients in this Hall of Fame class,” said Christine Reilly, Foundation board chair. “We look forward to honoring them this fall and recognizing their successes and contributions.”
