Longtime youth sports volunteer Ricky Linker was the 2009 inductee into the St. Andrew’s Parks and Playground Hall of Fame. Linker was honored at the agency’s annual awards dinner and a permanent bronze plaque commemorating his achievements was added to the Hall of Fame display at the St. Andrew’s headquarters.
Linker began volunteering at St. Andrew’s in 1970, and he was selected for the Hall of Fame for his enthusiasm for coaching and dedication to youth athletics. He coached more than 60 times over 40 years in baseball, football and basketball, and was a winner of the St. Andrew’s Parks Volunteer of the Year award.
The St. Andrew’s Parks and Playground Hall of Fame recognizes individuals who have made an outstanding and lasting contribution during service as a St. Andrew’s employee, volunteer, parent, Commissioner or participant. Past inductees include Carolyn Drose, Darius Rucker, Tim Linker, Robert Drose and Jeff Gladwell.
