It is with great honor that I name GFS Sam for our coveted Pat On The Back award. Sam has helped to create our forum in all so many ways. She was for a long time lead host in the extremely popular New England and Old England Forums. Sam is the Team Leader for New England and helped rebuild the New England resource center. Sam spent over a year working hard in our Forum Library. She has been very active on our training team and has developed and administered the mentoring program we use to help train our staff. On top of all of this, she has developed an award winning web site, Notable Women Ancestors.

Few people have given so much to our members, to Genealogy and to our Forum. Please join with me as we try to say thank you to Sam for all the great things she has done for all of us as we present her with the Pat on the Back Award.
