Every year we honour our friend and comrade Andy Nutts by selecting a member of the community who most exemplifies his strength of character.

Andy was a beauty and probably the most unique person I have ever met.  He was open hearted and giving person, always helping others, always staying late to clean up, paint or help a newbie with a difficult new skill.  

Having said that, Andy was not a “nice” person in the way that all too often people who are labelled “nice” are either soft, weak or fake.  He was a strong dude and spoke his mind when shit didn’t sit right with him.  He was in trouble lots, especially in his first year in the military (he got in trouble for speaking out).

He was also cool as hell, and FUNNY!  He would take one for the team, get in a fight for you, help the slow kid in class, get pissed drunk at the parties and pick up the pretty girl (or Ugly, it didn’t matter that much to Andy) then bike to work in the rain to teach the 6am class.   HE WAS A DUDE!!!
