Ruth Wiegmann to Appear on "Fans in the Stands"

Ruth Wiegmann will be Wendy Bartle's guest on the next edition of "Fans in the Stands" which can be seen during the first intermission of the Komets Game of the Week broadcast. Ruth is a longtime supporter of the Komets and was mentioned in Blake Sebring's book about the franchise and its storied history, Tales of the Komets. In the mid-1980s Ruth and her family began housing members of the Fort Wayne Komets during the season. She had already opened her home to countless foster children as well as members of a professional indoor soccer team that played in the city at that time. Ruth still keeps in touch with a large number of these players and their families, and will share at least one story not previously mentioned in Sebring's book, though the names of the players involved are omitted for their own protection! Ruth's family also sponsors the "True Komet" award that is handed out as part of the team awards at the end of each regular season. Tune in to Comcast channel 55 or Verizon Fios channel 25 on Wednesday, April 21 at 8 PM or Thursday, April 22 at 4 AM or Noon to learn more about Ruth and her irreplaceable presence within the Komets organization.
