Wesley Wenhardt’s favorite part of working at the Foss Waterway Seaport, he says, is seeing the lights of the building from a distance when he’s on a boat out on the water.
“You kind of imagine what it must have been like when you were first approaching as a ship,” he said. “If one of those longshoremen could come back and see what it looks like now, I wonder what they’d say.”
Wenhardt ends his six-year tenure as executive director of the Foss Waterway Seaport this week, but he won’t be leaving the water anytime soon.
