Ummm....a little more than just western Europe: http://www.foundus.com/jani/gnomes/europe.htm -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Bev Christian Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 8:24 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] NTC RE: [TN] NTC - APEX Awards ?? Dewey, When in the world have I claimed that Clumpy was a Canuck? According to a thick coffee table book I got for Christmas about 20 years ago, I was under the impression that gnomes were Dutch or at least western European, being related to leprechauns, elves, fairies, wood sprits and such.

Bev from RIM (real & imaginary men) has established he (Clumpy) is a natural born Canadian citizen, so that's settled. Now Bev wants to embarrass me by proposing a small private celebration ceremony for Clumpy. I would recognize Bev and Dave due to their conservative business attire. Due to their unique sartorial splendor, I don't know if I could differentiate between Graham, Doug or Clumpy, especially since any one of the three could be wearing the tire.

Remember, like all gnomes, Clumpy is SHY! Bev -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Graham Naisbitt Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 9:55 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] NTC - APEX Awards Hi Techies As those of you who attend either the APEX or MidWest meetings will be aware, IPC likes to honour those who have made significant contributions to the group. I am sure that I speak on behalf of all of us, when I say that there should be a special award presented to Clumpy at the forthcoming APEX event in Las Vegas. I hereby propose Clumpy and hope that enough of you will second this nomination. I am naturally confident that this motion will be carried and it therefore only leaves the question of the form his award will take? I therefore suggest that the group responsible for Clumpy's involvements: Messrs Mahanna, Hillman, Pauls, Whittaker and myself, shall encourage all Technetter's to send us their suggestions. We will then select the most popular suggestion and make arrangements for it delivery at APEX. As I am aware of the APEX agenda being somewhat full, might it be appropriate to make the award immediately following the KeyNote address, or does everyone feel this should best be done during the formal awards luncheons? It seems to me that Steve Wozniak is the sort of chap who would rise to the occasion. I have tried to ensure that Clumpy has been omitted from the recipients list of this message, so as not to embarrass him and whilst he sleeps-off the excesses of his time with Steve Creswick.
