Partygoers Enjoy Food, Drinks, and Video Tribute by Smith

A large crowd was on hand Friday at the Black Bear Crossings of St. Paul’s Como Park as John Smith (no relation) recieved the 2006 Charlie Smith Award. The award presentation featured old (former) high school classmates, a stirring video (roast) edited by Jerry Smith (no relation), and a heartfelt (lightly rehearsed) sing-a-long led by the Access Press Board. The mood was high from the opening hors d’oeuvres (drinks) to the closing (and thankfully brief) remarks from Access Press editor Tim Benjamin (no relation). Thanks to all who helped make this annual banquet, once again, a not-to-be-missed party
