WLNE: City of Pawtucket announces 2024 Hall of Fame inductees

PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WLNE) — The city of Pawtucket is preparing to celebrate some of its own champions, with a Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

The Pawtucket Hall of Fame has announced its list of 2024 inductees.

The hall says the induction award is given to former residents whose efforts have gone “above and beyond” and shine a positive light on the city.

This year’s 2024 Pawtucket Hall of Fame Inductees are: Robert Andrade (former bank executive and civic-minded volunteer), Merry Caswell (educational leader), Pamela Hughes (volunteer community activist), William D. Mulholland (former public servant and featured Times writer), the late Lou Schweichheimer, Jr. (long-time executive of the Pawtucket Red Sox) and historical inductee, Vivian Marshall (film star).

In addition to the 2024 Inductees, this year’s recipient of the traditional “Person of the Year Award”, which is given to recognize the person the Hall of Fame Committee believes has made an “outstanding contribution or achievement” during the previous year, will be presented to Rhode Island Congressman Gabe Amo.

The banquet is set for November 1, as the Pawtucket Armory Arts Center.
