2004--Kathy Graves
Here is Ms. Volly 2004 being congradulated by her brother Erik.  Her award, a handsome silver platter beautifully engraved by APVA resident artisan, Steve Laughbaum, is in the vault at Citibank with her many other valuables.  Faithful and true, Kathy richly deserves this token of our esteem and fondness.
Mei Hu--2003
Jeannine Hopson---2002
2003--Mei Hu
Mei (pronounced May) works at Vanderbilt 
and stopped to play one day on her way 
home.  In May this year (2004) she returns 
to China to be reunited with her family. 
While we know she misses them and rejoice 
with her at the reunion, it will be a sad day 
for all of us.  Thanks, Mei, for your quiet 
and effective play and your cheerful  spirit. 
You are an inspiration to us all and we 
won't forget you.
2002--Jeannine Hopson
If ever there was the epitome of "Good Sport," 
"True Grit," and "Team Player," Jeannine is it. 
The tasteful awards by team artist in residence, 
Steve Laughbaum, were never more richly 
deserved.

Shown with Susan Wallace, Ms. Volley 2001, who made the presentation.
 
 
 

 

Susan Wallace--2001
Betsy Gerlach--2000
2001--Susan Wallace
The 2001 award was presented to Susan Wallace.  She won it by her grit and determination and by her faithful attendance.  She was also in line for Most Improved, but 
we thought MV 2001 said it all.

Shown with Awards Chairman Mark Morrison.

2000--Betsy Gerlach
Winner for the year 2000 was Betsy Gerlach who 
hung in there through thick and thin. 
Congratulations, Betts, on your recent wedding!

 Terri Argubright-Anthony--1999 Elizabeth Aune--1997
1999--Terri Argubright-Anthony
The second award was to Terri Argubright-Anthony for the year 1999.  She dominated the game until she and Blake moved to Texas last winter (2000).

Shown in her other incarnation as Crista Nicole, since she won't send us a blinkin' photo!

1997?--Eliabeth Aune
The coveted Ms. Volley Award was first 
presented to Elizabeth Aune, shown here 
with her parents, Lisa and Mark, in 1995 
or 1997 or something like that. 

 

There seems to be some sort of matrimonial hex on this award.  Five of the six recipients were single when they began to play and now two of those have ended up married!  Research is underway at the highest levels.  More on this later!
