PHOTM Nominations
September 2002

John Gugie

"eric, and all: i would like to nominate john gugie as a candidate for photm. i've been impressed with his posts for quite awhile now. they are fun to read, factual and to the point. they are well written as well. he's not afraid to give his opinion and/or imput on a wide range of topics within this list. i also would like to commend his action on starting 'pete' on his travels around the us of a, then canada and who knows, maybe the world. i've never met john face to face, but feel as though i know him rather well via his posts."

Lori Smith

"I would like to nominate Lori Smith for PHOTM. She is the most qualified person for the position that I can think of. She is an active participant of the list. She posts to it regularly, yet doesn't "flood" it. She helps others on the list when she can. On her own time and at her own expense she made up her humorous little "PEZHead revival vials" and gave them out at the OH Conv. Many of us received them from her through the mail, along with various other items, both purchased and hand-made by her. But the PHOTM is not just a popularity contest. The recipients should also show some other "above and beyond" qualities. Like giving back to their community. Lori does other things that some on the list may not even be aware of. Many people donate things which they either no longer need or have extras of to charity, but Lori actually goes out and buys things, to donate to children, using not just money, but her own time, to shop for all the stuff. In her personal life, she teaches bible school, instilling morals and values in young minds. In our PEZHead community she gave of her own time and created her "PEZ coloring page". I cannot think of a more deserving person for this award, and therefore would like to officially nominate Lori Smith for the September 2002 PHOTM!"

Tina Gunsauls

"I would like to nominate Tina Gunsauls ( rotorup). Tina is a long time member of the list , posts helpful information , willing shares her interest in PEZ . She is a very giving & caring member of our PEZ community. And to top it all off totally at her expense she put on a mini-PEZ convention"
