Location: south east Michigan | Congratulations to Phil Wong on being the first OFC Member of the Year!!
The motto of the OFC is….”Be There”. Phil has always risen to that summons. Even if it means departing from home in the dead of night he will “be there”, happy and well dosed with caffeine.
Not only does Phil heed the call to “be there”, (which is said to sound similar to a Llama longing for the snow capped Andes), he arrives with a purpose. Fulfilling every stereotype you have ever seen, Mr. Wong shows up with enough camera equipment to make even Ansel Adams green with envy. When he lifts the camera up into position, that massive framework of aluminum and light fixtures makes him look like the next mechanical monster to take on Godzilla in downtown Tokyo. Domo Arigato.. Mr. Roboto.
Phil’s extensive photo work has allowed those who have not been able to attend the tour to get a glimpse into the fun, excitement, and craziness that go on every year.
It’s that type of enthusiasm and dedication that makes Mr. Phil Wong the very first OFC Member Of The Year

Congratulations Phil; you are a credit to your species. And thanks Brad for taking the time honor a great man!
And while it looks like it won't sound so hot, I am sure it's stable and should stay in tune! |

Seriously this is very well deserved by Phil. The ultimate "team player" and providing such a great service that benefits the entire membership. Congratulations Phil.
I had a little "insight" that this was going on and even before the name was mentioned, I knew in my own mind that it should go to Phil. Well, actually he was a very close second, you know how self-serving I can be. Beware - The bar has been set VERY high by our man Phil. Congrats again!

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | Might I just take a moment to remind folks that at the '05 Factory tour, Phil bravely led, obsessively obeying his new GPS unit, an entire caravan of OFC members so far astray, they actually wound up at the Martin facility in Pennsylvania.
(and Witko had the shirt to prove it.)
Congatulations, Phil. It could'na happened to a more confused guy. ;) |

Location: Cicero, NY | Brad, that's spectacular and could not have been awarded to a better man. Phil, congratulations and enjoy your tiara for the year. You've earned it.
(Side note because Phil isn't here - shouldn't it have gone to someone who can actually play the guitar? Hey, I'm just asking is all....) :D |

Location: GA USA | Amen! Phil is my hero. Out of the blue he sends me CDs of incriminating photos of you all. It's impossible to caricature people you haven't met without good reference material. My drawing of Jeff was lifted straight from the NE gathering pix. A high bar indeed!
Waitaminit! Is that a Deacon knob? Sunny Ledges could have sold that for $120.00! |
