PHOTM Nominations
September 2003

Dana & Juli Kraft

dana and juli kraft! dana and juli kraft! dand and juli kraft! i'd like to nominate dana and juli kraft for photm. i hear that they put on great pez conventions up there in minnesota. at least that is what i hear through the grape vine!

Wayne Wacker

I would like to nominate Wayne Wacker for always posting great pictures of everyone at the conventions he attends! This isn't something new, he's been doing it for years!

Brian Trauman

I would like to nominate Brian Trauman because of his rough job of trying to maintain a good list of those TMNT. He has done a fine job.

Ricky Dyson

I, being new to the group have never nominated anyone yet, and not sure of the criteria for this honor, wanted to get my feet wet. I think this "Pez" community is great and have had some of the most enjoyable purchasing experiences ever!!! That having been said, I would like to nominate Ricky Dyson aka "Pezneck" I have had the pleasure of both reading his posts, learning from his answers as well as from the questions he asks, and most importantly, been on the receiving end of one of the most professional transactions I have ever had the pleasure to be involved with. To me, he exemplifies what the PHOTM is and should be!!!! Thanks for your integrity and interest in this hobby Ricky, it makes it more enjoyable.

Cincinnati Area Pezheads

Last month, there were a lot of nominees, many with ties to their activities at a recent convention. I would like to nominate the Cincy Pezheads, who were also nominated last month (but not by me), for their hard work in producing the "Buckeye Pez" which made many of us Pezheads very happy. A lot of hard work and organization went into that effort. I have never nominated anyone before, but feel they really deserve the recognition. Please give them serious consideration.

Helen McKinley

Well I would like to nominate your reginal weather girl from Sacromento @att.net, Helen McKinley. She a very frequent poster to the group and always includes her weather report at the bottom. She's also our Peter Pez expert on the list and I'm sure the list of people that have got a care package from her is endless, but maybe the most important thing about Helen is she's the caretaker of the Babski Trust. For some of the new members....Gerard Babski was a past PHOTM that posted a lot when I just joined....and surprising enough one day when he posted, we got a post from Helen saying Gerard had passed. I'm not sure how many people remember their first PHOTM vote, but mine was for Gerard. He selected Helen to sell off his collection for him and set up a trust for his grandkids, and if I said how big the trust was, I'm sure I would be wrong because she's still pushing to unload his things after all these years. I'm not sure how many people would ever concider undertaking a task of that proportion....I know I wouldn't.....but one thing for sure, Gerard found a keeper to handle the task so cast a vote for Helen so Gerard can say one last time, Way to go Sunshine.
