  1. The 2018 Grandpa Old Spook Award has been presented to this years winner . . . A writer I am not, but wanted to give a nod to this year's winner . . . Below, as tradition, is the summary of the beginnings of this SOL award. "For many years, Grandpa Old Spook, also known as “Hawk", was a colorful, gentle, well respected, and well-loved member of Stripers On Line. He was a man of a simple means, had few financial resources, and at times had to persevere though some difficult obstacles in his life. But he was the kind of person that would give you his last penny if you needed it. He also was always willing to immediately step up and share his experience, knowledge, and advice with anyone that might benefit from it. On July 29, 2005, Hawk unfortunately left this world way too soon, and left a hole in the hearts of those that knew him or had otherwise interacted with him. Shortly after, Bill Charleston, in an effort to fill that hole and to carry on the spirit and memory of Grandpa Old Spook within the StripersOnLine community, conceived the idea of an annual award in Hawk’s name, along with a plaque, which would be awarded each year to a member of StripersOnLine who exemplifies the loving, giving spirit that Hawk showed and shared with us all." This year's recipient is JMB! JMB truly has the spirit of community that is at the core of what SOL has become over the past 19 years. He is behind the scenes at the Food Fling, in the kitchen every year making sure the food keeps coming. He organizes a number of 'pools', runs the 'Danny Neuman' Invitational golf outing and is involved with every gathering, official and otherwise John is one of the good guys and his sense of humor and good nature make him an easy target Consider this a heartfelt thank you from all of us, those that have been here from the beginning to the newbies joining every day...
