UFH: Alan Skierkiewicz

[JVN]

Congratulations Al!
Another great choice for the UFH award!

Though I've never had a prolonged interaction with Al in person, we've bumped into each other a few times here and there, and it's always been a pleasure.

I remember in Atlanta this year I was sitting in the stands watching the Archie finals... During an especially close match, I distinctly remember talking to the people around me about the outcome (as we all frantically counted the balls in a goal). I looked back and realized I had been talking with Al (I recognized him from this site) and some other Stangers for the past few minutes without even knowing it. It's definitely a cool thing to look up and realize you're talking to someone you recognize & admire.

Anyways...
That's about the sum of my "Al-experiences".

As others have said, his contributions on this forum are incredible. He is one of those people that you can always trust to post something good. We need more Als on here, and certainly more in this program.

Again -- Congratuations. This is truly deserved.

Admiringly,
John V
