Mount Dora Apopka game fans become airborne boosters
Rods of enthusiasm for a Mount Dora Apopka clash carried into the air as Lieut. Tommy Kennedy, son of Police Chief Richard Shipes, flew his Navy plane over the field in support. He once played for Hurricanes and, despite injuries, keeps hometown pride alive. Nearby exploits include Red Kennedy’s 28 pound sea bass catch at New Smyrna Beach watched by Mrs Kennedy and fishing expert Margo.
