Thank you, Ontario District

By Bill Vermue

I was surprised and thrilled to receive the 2006 Larry Dale Coach of the Year Award, presented to me at the spring convention in Collingwood.

Having known Larry and his family, and having had the pleasure of being coached by him several times makes this a very special award and one that I will cherish. I was truly honoured!

To receive Barbershopper of Renown recognition for 2006 as well made for an amazing evening. Thank you to everyone who extended congratulations, and special thanks to those who nominated me for these awards.     k
