Kirkwood kicks it up

When Wayne Kirkwood received Lee County's economic development lifetime achievement award recently, the electrical contractor got some good-natured ribbing about his wardrobe.
More specifically, his trademark cowboy boots.

“I always notice, for some reason, his boots,” says Robbie Roepstorff, in a video that played for more than 1,000 people who gathered to celebrate Kirkwood's award at the industry appreciation event at Harborside Event Center in Fort Myers.

“He's worn those for as long as I've known him,” says Denis Noah, chairman of the Horizon Council, the economic development organization in Lee County.
