PHOTM Nominations
May 2004
Megan Moore
"...would like to nominate our friend Megan Moore -- in this lull between conventions, non-convention hosts stand a better chance of being elected and Megan certainly deserves it. She has participated on this list since well before my time and is always very knowledgeable on the latest Pezzie things. She loves to search out the new stuff and then report to the list where they can found, a valuable service to those of us -- like me -- too busy or too lazy to search for ourselves. If she does not know the answer to a question, she will spend her time and search her secret sources on the internet to find the answer. And I am sure many of you can attest to the fact that she is always willing to send Pez anywhere if she has it you don't and she is always up for a good trade. Heck barter is life blood of this list. When I got back to Cincinnati and found this list, she emailed me and it turns out she is right around the corner from me. Vote for Megan for PHOTM, she needs a clock. And finally, as I announced when I won my second Top Gun, she helped me -- we helped each other -- with the involved research on those very difficult and goofy questions.
Sara Barksdale
"Each month most of us look and forget to do anything...about PHOTM yes even me.... This time I would like to nominate someone. I recently put out a post to the list to buy a dispenser.... I have seen this dispenser go for a lot, close to $100, sometimes. After receiving a few offer to buy or make an offer, this PEZhead wrote back to me.... "Bob send me your address, I have one and would like you to have it. I have not mailed them before but hope you'll get it Ok." I offered her something in return...for it... a set of the eBay hearts.... Her response was.. "I do have one, and am happy with one....thank you for your offer. This is one of those pass the joy to another deal." This is what this list is made of good, kind, and need nothing in return for there kindness to others. Makes you think a lot, right? For May 2004 I would like to nominate Sara Barksdale a true PEZhead list member..."
Ricky Dyson
"For this month's PHOTM I would like to nominate Ricky D aka Pezneck! He was so generous in sending a HUGE box of pez for our fundraiser auction! And, on top of that, has continued to respond to list member's questions and comments. He's a wonderful ambassador for pez, and I think we should recognize him this month with the PHOTM honor!"
Gary Plunkett
"Hello, I am nominating Gary Plunkett, from Edmund, OK, near Oklahoma City. Gary has been an active collector for 12+ years....he is one of the friendliest guys you'll ever meet. He can be found mostly at the Cleveland conventions each year, talking for hours about pez variations, his fantastic truck variation collection and in general, helping everyone gain more knowledge in pez collecting. He is a 'poster child' for what a 'Pezhead' stands for! His contributions on the pezheads list have been numerous over the years. He recently started a truck 'swap meet' trying to bring fellow collectors together to trade for different color combinations for trucks. His chat group address is: pezaholic@aol.com. Gary is well known by Shawn Peterson, John LaSpina, Red Conroy, Bill Helmetes and others - and they'd all vouch for Gary's unwavering passion for Pez and his fellow pezhead collectors!"
Juergen Neumann
"I/we would like to nominate a very good friend of ours..... Juergen Neumann
he is a European Pezhead.. and has been in the pez community for a very long
time.. Our european friends sometimes don;t get the recognition they so deserve
because they are so far away from all of us. let me tell you a little about
him.. for those that haven;t had the great opportunity to meet him... his name
is Juergen Newmann, which i am sure alot of you know, from various conventions..
i first met him about 6or 7 years ago at the cleveland convention his knowledge
of pez is fantastic, and is always ready to share it with whomever will listen
and some of the unusal pez that he has graced the pez community with is amazing..
just ask someone that has purchased from him at a convention he is the one
that
usually shares the new pictures of pez with us all that will be produced and
sold only in europe. just look in the pezsnews he is always at the for-front
to help any pezhead that needs to find pez or just needs some information about
a pez product . i could go on forever about all the reasons he should be this
months PHOTM... but i will just keep it to this for now.. So!!!, for a Pezhead
that is so very deserving of the honor, please vote for our European friend
JUERGEN NEUMANN"
