To add a few thoughts...
I've never felt closer to anyone in my life (excepting my own family) than to the PGCA community and spending the day at the Hogan's helping them to prepare for the challenges of a New Englend winter gave me a chance to express my thanks and doing it with this group of friends was the "icing", so to speak.
No, I wasn't wearing spiked shoes but I was in my socks because I left my muddy work boots at the door.
Regarding the Distinguished Service Award presentation to John Dunkle, all I can say about it is that 'if the celibrant can't come to the celebration - the celebration will come to the celibrant' and it is only fitting that the presentation be made in the same formal tone (jacket and tie) as it was done in Louisville at the Annual Meeting Banquet where Allan Swanson and Charlie Herzog were honored with the DSP awards.
Thanks to all of you for a great day!! It rained off and on for most of the day but that didn't put a damper on anyone's spirits - the job got done!

It has already been stated , not to reiterate that the Hogans are wonderful people and needed a little assistance in getting ready for this winter . So a little over a week ago I put out a call to the BOD to aid in organizing a work bee in Piermont ,NH . Larry Frey stepped forth to help . A group was formulated for the task on Oct. 1st . Larry's wife ,Deb, prepared an excellent lunch with all the fixings and my wife ,Jean, baked all the sweet goodies. Austin and Pam Hogan gather up a "honey do" list of things that needed attention .
I can only say the PGCA fraternity of fellowship is what the day was all about. It is not just guns . We worked together to help a FREIND ,with no rewards other than to get it done .

Having an opportunity to help Austin and Pam who have done sooo much for the PGCA...well....I think we all walked away just a little bit better off. Again Allan thanks for the idea. I think this one goes in your "Top 10" great ideas!
