I just saw the announcement on the RSO website. Congratulations Ross!

Thanks, Dave. I was truly honoured and surprised to receive the award. They pulled it all off without me getting at all suspicious.

In his speech Ray mentioned all kinds of details from the past that he got from Janet and Christopher. Blew me away as he kept coming up with more little tidbits of past adventures.

While you don't do volunteer work for awards, it is really nice to be recognized.

NO single person in Ontario is more important to rallying in Ontario than you Ross. I was very happy to see this recognized and the standing ovation you received was well deserved! Thanks for all that you do for rallying.

The hardest part was getting Janet to Banquet as she normally doesn't

Ray called three times when he though Ross was on the road and each time Ross was home. Ray then called Christopher requesting that he contact Janet and have her phone Ray

My congratulations also Ross well deserved

I agree with John. The standing ovations at the Banquet proved that more people agree with him too. Thank you, Ross.

Absolutely!! It was wonderful to be able to pull a fast one on Ross, and make his award a complete surprise. The standing ovation said it all!

Special thanks to Ross, for mentoring me as Secretary this past year -- and with unfailing patience and good humour. I would have been lost without your help.
