[Osta-board] Conference scuttlebutt

[Bernie Carlsen]

Thank you, Cora,

     Actually, the reason that I mentioned the other stuff that Paul is 
involved with is because of just how much he epitomizes Thor Sabo, for 
whom this award was named.

     Whilst the award is for service to our organization, Thor was just 
like Paul in that he was always involved full blast into the activities 
that he took on.  Where Paul is involved with the LIONS club's exchange 
student programs, Thor was a SCOUT leader.  He was with the Columbia Sea 
Scouts, and was completely committed, just like Paul, to all that the 
good things that his groups did to advance young people in our society.  
Thor, like Paul, you, and others in our profession, stayed on with the 
organization and did more than just their original involvement may have 
required.  We call these people "110%ers".  Our profession is much 
richer from their efforts!

     Thank you for all that you do for science education!  Peace,  
Bernie
