The Un-Sung Hero of Parawan

OK, so un-sung hero may be a bit strong, but I thought Tom Kelly did
an excellent job of getting the Region nine contest off the ground.
Although I might have missed the cudos he was given during the awards
dinner, I don't recall anyone singling him out.
The low stress, (as low stress as a contest can be), was because of
the attitude Tom brought to the proceedings. Without exception, Tom
could be found keeping tabs on what went on and lending both a smile
and a hand to anyone who was in need. The word mellow comes to mind
when I think of how the contest was run, and Tom was responsible for
it.
Tom Pressley and John Good did a steller job of scoring and sniffing,
and certainly deserve a great deal of credit. Regardless of the
circumstances, (I'm thinking of my numerious screw-ups), Tom always
had a smile and a good word.
So, thanks again Tom..........good on ya!
