Topeka (WIBW) - Topeka's newest Business Hall of fFamers were announced Tuesday.

This year's class of four includes Tim Etzel of the Jetz Company, a coin-operated laundry service. He was unable to attend the news conference Tuesday announcing the selections, but shared his thanks over the phone.

Also being inducted is the late construction company owner Charles Bennett. Among the projects he built was Fairlawn Plaza.

The other two inductees were on hand for a news conference at Washburn University.

Linda Lee is nationally recognized in the design field, while Jim Parrish owns several Topeka hotel properties.

Honoreers are chosen for their excellence, leadership and entrepreneurial spirit.

Junior Achievement spearheads the Business Hall of Fame. Honorees are permanently enshrined at a location on Washburn's campus.

Inductees will be honored at a dinner March 2nd at the Ramada Hotel, fittingly, owned by inductee Parrish.
