In Episode 68 of the Get ’N Your Business Podcast, host Alison Shores sits down with Leslie McNeill (Sheila’s daughter) and Keith Post (Executive Director, St. Marys Submarine Museum) to celebrate the life and legacy of Senator Sheila McNeill and introduce the Sheila McNeill Legacy Scholarship Fund. Through personal stories—from Sheila’s Hallmark store supporting deployed sailors to her barrier-breaking role as the first woman to serve as National President of the Navy League—listeners get a vivid picture of a leader who blended grit, grace, and relentless community service. Keith and Leslie share how Sheila championed the submarine force, helped retain the Coast Guard MSST in St. Marys, and drove projects like the waterfront “bankcraft” display and the Submarine Museum’s founding. They also honor her partnership with her husband, Arley, and the inspiration behind her book, What Are You Doing Here? (available here). The episode closes with how the new scholarship supports U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen with real-world expenses, and exactly how the community can pitch in.
