PASCO -- Neither Mark Kafentzis nor Dave McKay expected so many people to attend their Columbia Basin College Wall of Fame induction ceremony as part of the Follow Your Dreams reception and banquet at CBC on Thursday night.
"I didn't expect this large of a crowd," said Kafentzis, who now lives on the west side of the state. "I didn't even recognize CBC. We used to call it Tumbleweed Tech."
McKay agreed.
