Jed, now you went and made me feel bad. I was getting there. I could not have done this year end banquet without some help. Especially Tammy Jacobellis! She saved the day before banquet day ever arrived! The trophy folks called me, while I was scoring practice day at the SuperNats, and told me the trophies I picked wouldn’t work as they did not have enough in the right sizes! By this point, I was worried. I called Tammy (who was already working hard on our clever centerpieces) and asked her to help out with the awards. She took it on, without question, and I can’t thank her enough. She also was the one that made the initial contact with the Merchandise Mart, so she deseves the credit for finding this great place that everyone loved so much! She, Jay and the boys were there before me to start getting ready on banquet day, too!!
Thank You Tammy! Thank You to the Jacobellis Family!!
Also, thank you to Liz Schermerhorn for helping Ken unpack and arrange the CSC cups!! She probably had nightmares of trying to vacuum styrofoam peanuts off of people’s pants! I really love the special throw that you did for me…. ok, us… too! You are a very special family, Thank You!
I have to thank my mom, her husband Art, and my grandma (Nanny), too! If they did not come along to the races, there is no way I could do what I do for the series. They do a little of everything on race days (the biggest is putting up with Ken!)
I have many other thanks ( and I am sure I will forget someone)… Brad, Stacey, JB and Ann-Louise, Jim, Rusty, Dennis, Drew, the racers, and many other individuals who made this year a success!
Don, thank you for taking over setting up the slide show – and thank you to all that provided pictures, too.
