The Village of Wellington held a dedication ceremony Monday, Nov. 18 to add the name “Thomas M. Wenham Memorial Boulevard” to Birkdale Drive. The ceremony, held at the corner of Birkdale and Royal Fern drives, recalled the lifelong dedication of Tom Wenham, an inaugural member of the Wellington Village Council, Wellington’s first elected mayor, founder of the Wellington Community Foundation and one of the founders of American Legion Post 390. Speakers honored Wenham, a veteran who served in the Korean War, for his life of service. He died in 2022 at the age of 90. The ceremony was attended by Wenham’s widow, Regis Wenham.
