Jim Knull quote:
“The award was started by three fellows. Buddy Noon (photo top left) bought the prosthetic arm for $1 at a garage sale. Johnny Young was involved in most mischief in those days. Jack Manson was a willing accomplice. Hughie Lapin was the first recipient.

See pictures along with a few shots of happy party goers. In addition there was a lot of good old visiting between friends. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. See you in 2013.
