In Seaview tonight, a special gathering brought together family and friends of JB Webster – the West Seattle real-estate agent, Seafair Commodore and community advocate whose death after a short illness shocked the community back in April. The gathering was “A Toast to JB,” a private fundraiser for the new plaque in his honor at Alki Statue of Liberty Plaza. The photo above shows (from left) Mr. Webster’s widow Christi Webster with tonight’s event hosts, Rob and Patricia Shiras. With Mr. Webster’s fellow Seafair Commodores — who turned out in force for his memorial at Alki UCC — due in The Junction this Saturday for the West Seattle Grand Parade, we asked if they are doing something special in his memory; Christi Webster says they’re wearing a special black/white pin with the initials JB, and that Seafair has a new membership award in his memory, since he was a prolific recruiter of new members. ADDED: Thanks to Edna Bishop for forwarding this photo taken by Jason Mercio, who donated his services for the event:
