Member Spotlight Comeback !

[discuspaul]

We are re-starting the Member Spotlights and would like the community to nominate those they would like to see spotlighted. Please nominate in this thread before October 30, 2014 when we will close this thread. A nominee with be selected from the list for each month and interviewed for the spotlight.

A few candidates remain from the last time we asked for nominees; they are Discus Hans, Josie of
ChicagoDiscus and Jim (yim11). We will be doing spotlights on Hans, Josie and Jim, assuming they're agreeable to it of course, before moving to the set of nominees generated from this thread.

Please note: A few rules; only one nominee per person, no self nominations and members who have been spotlighted in the past are not eligible for nomination. A list of past member spotlights is below for reference. Marnie and I have volunteered for this and will try to keep it on a monthly basis.

[Second Hand Pat]

I think Barb, our awesome cone, cave and pot maker is most deserving of a member spotlight.

[Disgirl]

Thank you Pat. I would be honored to do this.
Barb

[discuspaul]

I was all set to nominate Barb, but Pat beat me to it.
Rather than second the nomination of Barb as my vote, I thought I'd add another name instead:
I nominate WILLIAM PALUMBO

[discuspaul]

Any interest out there in adding to the nominations list ?
It would be appreciated to have a few more names on the list to give us a good running start for the next group of members to be spotlighted.

[Disgirl]

I would like to nominate rickztahone and
DiscusNoob-Matt.
Barb

I would like to nominate rickztahone and
DiscusNoob-Matt.
Barb

Sorry, Barb, rules are that only one nomination is allowed per member. Which one do you prefer ?

[Disgirl]

Oops, I will then go with Ricardo, the first name I put down. Maybe someone else reading this will nominate Matt!
Barb

Thanks Barb - That could happen.
