Group- As you have probably already heard via the newsletter, Grant MacLaren will no longer be editing, publishing, or sending thenewsletter that he has so graciously been doing for the past TEN YEARS.(the web page lives though, thankfully) No one has stepped forward asof yet to carry on this task, but as a sign of our appreciation for thetireless efforts he has invested to this point I have had a plaque made upfor him with a Piet at the top and some words of thanks below.This plaque will be presented to Grant (if time permits) after hisTheater in the Woods presentation by either the MC of events from EAAor one of us. Grant is NOT aware of this so please do not mention it tohim before hand. He's not the kind of guy that likes much fanfare abouthimself so I just assume we surprise him. The plaque reads " BuckeyePietenpol Association Member and Friends". If you want to see the wholething I can privately e-mail you the Word document I have.Fortunately my girlfriend knows of a Christian family run trophy shop herein Cleveland that just does outstanding work for about one-third the costof any other place in the area, so make sure that if you get at chance takea look at that thing- I think it will do Grant justice.Mike Cuy________________________________________________________________________________
