It has become an annual tradition in the Wood Shop, that there is a pot luck Christmas Party held each year. It is a great opportunity to recognize and thank all the volunteers for their hard work, and a way to meet folks you might not see every day. Here, thanks to some images from Rich Witt, is a peek at what you might have missed.
The food and fixings were set out with care.
The food line opened quickly and we see Gerry Dettloff, Henry Vincent, and Bill Greenhill moving methodically and making their best selections.
One of our workbenches serves as a table to allow efficient consumption of the goodies, shoveling it down the hatch.
Santa, Pete Galayda, did most of the 'heavy liftng' organizing the get together this year. John Nelligan, on the right, just congratulated him on a job well done.
With full tummies the major activity shifted to recounting the year events and perhaps telling a few stories. John Wosniak, Gene Mackowiak, Buzz Morisette, ?, and Victor Humphreys are busy solving all the problems.
Due to some physical problems I missed the event this year, but I would like to thank all those that did work in the Wood Shop, the Freight Department, the Electric Car Department (the list goes on) in 2010, and to wish you all a
MERRY CHRISTMAS !!
