On January 9, 2024, the City of Myrtle Beach held a swearing in ceremony in Council Chambers to welcome two new members of the Myrtle Beach City Council, Debbie Conner, and Bill McClure, and say farewell to two members John Krajc and Phil Render. This was the end of the election cycle our podcast chronicled in October-November of last year. An election cycle that found our host in the race as a candidate. He did not win.
In this episode we also saw Councilman Michael Chestnut become the longest serving city council member in city history as he was elected to his 7th term. At such a historic occasion, along with the retirement of Phil Render, our third longest serving council member, we thought it would be fun to look back at two men who were also among the longest serving in our city's history, former Mayor Bob Grissom and former Councilman Wilson Cain. Both men have since passed away but their memories still loom large in the history of our great city, and we thought it would be fun in this episode to look back at them both, as we see on this day Dr Phil Render and Michael Chestnut set new records for longevity of public service.
We also invite you to tune in to our podcast and its special series that will start next week as we honor our city's senior statesman and former Mayor Robert J. Hirsch.
Please tune in on this historic day in Myrtle Beach.
