But before we leave the 2006 show, I suggest each of
us say an extra thanks to John Hayden who faces the challenge
and gets us up to quality singing each and every year.
Thanks goes out to Jim Erbe who managed the
show, designed the set, worked tirelessly on the set production, and
lined up our OSHA guy. He also provided pop and candy for the
scenery workers, helped move the set, provided his tools, got the
show logo created, and hosted the committee meetings at his house.
He had his hand in everything as show producer. Thanks go out to
Gary Glockhoff who came through as he always does with a
clever, amusing, and original concept and script and performed with
in Profound Sound.
Thanks go out to Gary Lindsay who created the
show flyers and the beautiful show program booklet, to Dick
Ormond who championed the ad sales to the goal, and operated the
tuxedo issuing operation. Thanks go out to Tom Harrington who
created the railings and got the harness to fly John Hayden
and served as tech director and to Ryan Schlader who got us
advertising and publicity at minimal cost.
Thanks goes out Bob Kerdus who hosted
Downstate Express and arranged their school visits. He can also be
counted to be an impromptu MC on short notice. Thanks go out to
Barb Read for being our show artistic director and to Tom
Read for getting her to agree to do this.
Many thanks goes out to 10W30, Syndicate, Profound
Sound, and to New Day (Greg Koenigs, Sean Smith, Jim Brewer, and
John Hayden) who put in extra rehearsal time to add their
quartet talents to the shows. And to Bill Cubbage, Richard
Anderson, Mark Potter (Mister "I weigh 150"), Dave
Haase, Buzz Brown and Gary Glockhoff for being the
"huge guys" who overload the risers according to our OSHA
representative. We cannot forget Cameron Jones, our newest
member, who found himself a featured performer on his first show
experience.
There so many other people to thank so from the
bottom of my heart, "Thank you."
