Re: [GSAS-board] Old GSAS Trophys, Don Bertellotti

[Steev Ward <steevward@yahoo.com>]

    Don Bertellotti was instrumental in the runnings of the GSAS for many 
years. He did
much of the work that allowed us to put on public fish shows in the 70s. At a 
few of
our shows he took on the position of head of security for the event. He helped 
with the
newsletter (printing, collating, and advertising accounts) and various programs,
chairing the monthly Bowl Show which was a popular part of our meetings for 
many years.

 
     He raised a lot of fish and entered fish in a lot of fish shows. One of his
prize-winning specimens was a  fully grown (gigantic) Red Devil cichlid that 
displayed
near-perfect color, behavior, and finnage. It was such an impressive fish that 
it
consistently took awards for People's Choice as well as Best-in-Show. Don was a
certified fish show judge himself and traveled around the state to judge many 
shows put
on by other clubs. He also kept a few bass in his tanks being an avid fisherman 
and
active member of the Bass Masters organization.

    I think it would be a good idea to accept these awards and use them in club
applications. It wouldn't hurt to recognize Don's activity in GSAS at the same 
time. We
might also tell Mr. Peter Bertellotti that we would gratefully accept any other 
GSAS
material and memorabilia that document Don's contributions to our club.
