ACGNJ 2009 Hobbiest of the Year

Nominated Person: Leonard Thomas.
Reason for Nomination: For outstanding efforts in volunteer coordination/supervision every year at the Trenton Computer Festival.
Lenny is usually one of the first people to arrive during the early morning hours and one of the last to leave on Saturday and Sunday to get vendors organized (load/unload, etc.) and direct other volunteers accordingly. He has also served on the ACGNJ Board of Directors, and for the past few years as ACGNJ Historian. This year, he bravely tackled the rampant chaos (out of date or completely missing information, etc.) left behind by MarketPro after they quit TCF. He put in countless hours tracking down and signing up vendors, making extensive use of Bmailer (a bulk e-mail program written by Bruce Arnold for the ACGNJ C/C++ Users Group)
"Lenny Thomas has been a member of ACGNJ for approximately ten years. He currently serves as a Director and Historian for the club.

His contributions to ACGNJ and TCF have certainly been appreciated".
