IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME Tom Muldoon ’62, former president of the Philadelphia Convention and Visitors Bureau (PCVB), was honored for his 25 years of service and dedication to Philadelphia, its hospitality industry and the PCVB at the bureau’s annual luncheon in November. In addition to a video tribute, Mayor Michael Nutter presented him with the Philadelphia Bowl, the city’s highest honor. Looking for a gift that befitted the avid baseball fan, the staff of the PCVB also surprised their outgoing president with his very own “Field of
Dreams.” The name, Muldoon’s Field of Dreams, will adorn a ballpark in Francisville, Pa., near his home, and will be used by the Francisville A’s youth baseball team. A “fun-raiser” was held in January to help pay for the renovation and maintenance of the field, which was scheduled to open this spring. Muldoon, who stepped down at the end of December, is credited with the expansion of the Pennsylvania Convention Center, among many other contributions.
