Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 15, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 15, 2018 Famed retired track announcer Dave Johnson will sponsor the Dave Johnson & William “Bill” Fisher Scholarship Award to support University of Arizona Race Track Industry Program students pursuing a career in the business side of Thoroughbred racing in fields such as track management, publicity and announcing. In sponsoring the scholarship, Johnson is also honoring his late friend Bill Fisher, who was treasurer and general manager of Hialeah Park and who hired Johnson in 1971 to be Hialeah’s caller. “We couldn’t be more excited that Dave selected the RTIP’s scholarship program as a way to support the industry while honoring William Fisher,” said Wendy Davis, Director of the RTIP. “It’s incredibly gratifying to see the level of support from industry leaders for the next generation of racing executives.” View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
