Richard Close to Appear on "Fans in the Stands"

This week's guest for Komets Game of the Week "Fans in the Stands" will be Richard Close. Close worked for Pepsi Cola, a major sponsor of the Fort Wayne Komets, for a number of years and is now retired. He is a season ticket holder and has been attending games since 1957. He was privileged to know a few Komets legends personally, such as goalie Robbie Irons, who also worked at Pepsi for a time. As a Komets fan, Close made a point to travel to a number of away games over the years, visiting every current IHL city except Bloomington, IL and has a great many interesting stories from the various locales over the years. Remember to tune in to Comcast 55 or Verizon Fios 25 on Wednesday, November 18 at 8 PM or Thursday, November 19 at Noon to watch and reminisce about old-time Komet hockey with Wendy and Richard.
