After 14 years at the helm of the Warrior-Tombigbee Waterway Association (WTWA), Larry Merrihew has retired as president of the organization, effective August 1. And yet association members and waterway stakeholders already have a new-and very familiar-president in place to lead the economic development and advocacy efforts for the waterway. Wynne Fuller, the longtime operations division chief for the Mobile Engineer District, who retired from that role in early June, assumed the role of WTWA president the same day Merrihew stepped down. Asked how the plan to pass the sticks to Fuller came about, Merrihew laughed and said, "Well, I invited him for a cup of coffee." The irony is that's how Sheldon Morgan, Merrihew's predecessor, first asked him to consider applying for the job to lead the association when Merrihew had just retired from Regions Bank after 42 years. |
