JOE LONGO AWARD




The Longview Hills Fishing Club had its last meeting of 2006 on Thursday, December 21st. The 1st Annual Joe Longo Award was presented to Jack Scherer for 2005 and Charles Burke for 2006. Both of these men have helped to make the LVH Fishing Club the wonderful organization it is and the appreciation of the club members was evident in the great turnout we had. Michele Longo Eder, Joe Longo's daughter, was the guest of honor. She brought pictures of her father and told a few stories of his childhood in New York, as well as talking about her childhood and the wisdom passed on to her by her father. It was truly enjoyed by everyone. She then helped present the award to Jack and Charles, which made it even more special. There were lots of goodies to eat and lots of fish stories to go around. It was a great way to end the year.

All LVH Fishing Club members can view the award plaque on the Fishing Club wall in the Club House.
