SouthShore News - December 1st, 2004 New Krewe Makes Debut in Ruskin November 13, 2004, Ye Notorious Krewe of the Peg Leg Pirate participated in the Ruskin Veteran’s Day Parade sponsored by VFW Post #6287. This was the first parade for the Krewe which was formed earlier this year. The event marked the debut of a float designed and built entirely by Krewe members under the able direction of Admiral John McNeely. Six organizations contributed materials or otherwise supported the Krewe. They are Larkin Contracting Co., Lewis Contracting Co., T-Con, Inc., U.S. Filters, Portable Sanitation of Tampa, Inc., and Phillip Wilburn with United Rental. About forty members participated in the parade. They were joined by Ruskin veterans Richard Barraclough, Billie Fox, Robert Heinly, Jim Merrigan and Jack Isnard who served in World War II and Korea. The Krewe and float were presented the award for “The Most Entertaining Float”, by Post Commander George Hilton. The music was provided by DJ Gary Stebbins and Krewe members threw beads at parade watchers. Ye Notorious Krewe of the Peg Leg Pirate is a non-profit organization whose mission is to assist amputees, families of amputees and other organizations that work with amputees.
