Durham Chamber Honors Krzyzewski Family

The Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce honored Duke men’s basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, his wife Mickie, and their daughters Debbie Savarino, Lindy Frasher, and Jamie Spatola with their Civic Honor Award. The honor, which has been given by the chamber since 1933, recognizes people who have made “extraordinary contributions” to the community. Upon accepting the honor Mike Krzyzewski said, “Coaching a national team for the U.S., you get an opportunity to be with people from all over the world,” Krzyzewski said. “In every interview I do, where they (ask where I’m from), I say, ‘I’m from Durham, N.C.’ How good is that to be able to not only say it, but feel it?”
