Male Golden Grizzly
		Grizzly_wildThe Male Golden Grizzly Award for 2004 is presented to Grizzly_wild. You've made a lot of friends here, and they' are very proud of you . When it comes to a task you do, no matter what task that might be, I think most people feel the same way: you enjoy it more when you are working alongside good people. And on that score alone, you have made a huge contribution to this club. Your friendly way of working with people has made this club more enjoyable for everyone..... Wild, every business/club/group/family needs someone like you..... Someone who knows what they're doing… someone who has high standards… someone who is always on top of things…someone who always has a smile for you… and most of all, someone who won't take any BS. wild, we' are lucky to have you, in our family/group/club.... There's no doubt about it: whatever task you do, you preserve order over chaos, and calmness over confusion.. be it a chess game or a difficult situation You really know how to handle most things that come your way...your understanding and peace keeping ways are very valued.... Many thank you for the times you have lended an ear, gave chess lessons , giving advice....mostly giving of your time... time after all is the most valued thing one can give.......

Female Golden Grizzly Grizzlycave:GrizzlyCave asked me to write an introduction. I feel so very unqualified to write a commentary for a person of Cave's stature in our club, but im honored to try. Carra is indeed one of the club members that is a legend in the making. Her cross country odysseys to make it to the Grizzly Encampment will go down in history! Her selfless devotion to the club and it's members may never be equaled by any save the founders. We give her a hard time about the sometimes voluminous content of her posts, but that very fullness speaks to the great heart she possesses. Cave often grieves with club members that are having a hard time, she supports and cares for any that ask of her, and then seeks out the needs of those that can't ask. She often tells us she is not wealthy, but we know better.....we know that in fact she is one of the richest among us by any standard that counts !!! When we think of Grizzly heart, Grizzly soul, Grizzly dedication, or Grizzly passion....how many names come up....Carra will always be at the top of that list. Carras attention to the needs of maintaining, and evolving the web site to meet the working needs of our membership cannot be praised enough by those of us that use the site daily. To any that would aver the Grizzly Award is nothing more than a "popularity contest", I would respond simply ........"this clearly is not just a popularity contest...." then present them my first exhibit, our two time Golden Grizzly Award winner Cave and say..."I rest my case!!!!" Thank you Carra, for all you mean to us.
