You have witnessed those among us singled out
and recognized for their
outstanding hard work. For all who were
recognized tonight, many more sit quietly among us. Though recognized
on other nights and by other presidents, they are now content to
let the spotlight shine upon others.
And so to the quiet ones, the ones that
have worked just as hard this year, you deserve a word of thanks.
To Jane Niedzwiecki, Thank you for all of
the things you do for this Council. All the little details that
only a few of us get to see and all of the big and wonderful things
you have done to help our Earle sailors and marines.
To Ed Troche, Thank you for
your continued advice and help. Most of all for taking the time
to put the installation dinner programs and ad journal together
for so many years.
To Stu Chalkley who's here tonight and to
Dick Ehlert and Walter Olkowski who are not. The support these gentlemen
provide to me is only dimmed by the support they have for this Council.
Incidentally, Stu is the one who works so hard to make all of the
certificates we've handed out tonight, so thank you.
To Carl Jablonski, Well Carl deserves about
7 certificates for this past year. AND not just for each one of
the newsletters he produced either. He deserves recognition for
the 7 months he has chased me to get my Presidents messages and
articles to put into the newsletter. So thank you for being patient,
understanding and most of all persistent.
To John Niedzwiecki, We don't see John as
much anymore since he became Liberty Region President. Some might
say that's a good thing. I however miss his advice and long chats.
But remember, our loss is Liberty Region's gain.
Lastly, to the really quiet ones like Angus,
Tom, Monty and Paul as well as all of those who are not here tonight,
a simple thank you cannot convey my gratitude for what you do.
There is another person who is not here
with us tonight. That is Don Starr. We've dedicated tonight's program
in his memory. I ask that you remember all that was good in him
and all that he worked so hard to achieve.
As you can see the list can go on and on
with thank you's and praises. But in answering the question of How'd
we do, consider this......
