NACHI members of the year should get free NACHI membership for life.

[Paul W. Abernathy]

yeah....I say Gerry should get a lifetime membership also...throw it in Nick....along with the NACHI soap and matching shower set.

[Keith Swift, PhD.]

Gerry's truly deserving, and the fact that he's Brit makes him even more special. He's the ultimate straight shooter. Having said that, I was sorry to hear that Paul Abernathy has been berated and insulted. After all, he has given generously of his time and deserves better treatment than that. I would vote for him if only to counterbalence the nay sayers.

Paul, I resemble that remark, I had a shower last Christmas, I have one every year whether I need it or not !!

On a more serious note, the NACHI member of the year is solely voted for by the members of the awards committee (unlike the US and Canadian awards).

There have been some great nominations this year, and I am privileged to be amongst them, I do not envy the committees task in selecting a winner, just to have been nominated by ones piers is an honor.

Regards

Gerry should be a lifetime member simply for having had to put up with my rants over the past 4 years.

He has been a consistent contributor and mentor to many.

Gerry...

"ones piers"

I think you meant "One's peers".

Are you writing a structural course this evening?

Ones piers would likely hold up a deck, or something. Being nominated by a pier would be a first...

Too funny Joe, we have had a few "goes around" over the years, I appreciate the kind words.

Piers, shpeers, hell everything needs support, I was close enough I'd say
