Nominee: LeRoy Sprick (winner!)Nominator: Unknown
Year: 1974
Professional Pride Downfall of Local Contractor
L.F. Sprick, local builder, narrowly escaped injury today while working on the boat docks at the Lake City municipal harbor.
Sprick, age 39 [we think not], was working alone at the end of one of the docks and had just completed a minor repair job when he stepped back to admire his workmanship. Splash! The heavy green slime on the water's surface kept Sprick afloat until help could be summoned.
At an interview at the Sprick home following the incident, Mrs. Sprick noted that if her husband made a practice of this sort of thing, something would have to be done to rectify the harbor pollution problem, as her laundry facilities had been contaminated by the mess.
