A Champion for All the People

I've known Chris since his first day at MLS and through all the years, through ups and downs, through hard times and good, he has always been upbeat, positive and dedicated to doing his best for all the people in the library. He exceeded his duties as a part time computer tech so well that he was the first ever made full time. He spent as much time helping all the MLS offices with their tech and A/V needs as he did helping educate Downtown's staff adapt to the ever changing technical world of a modern library system. He worked himself to near heat-exhaustion each year making Beef and Buns a much-anticipated treat for everyone at 300 Park. Now, he uses his skills with graphics to help Rick create that special MLS look, as well as creating an AWESOME champions pic!
Thank you, Chris, for all you do, for all of us!

Chris is the man!

Chris is an awesome graphic designer and such an asset to our library system! Every piece of marketing he has done for ED's teen programming has been AWESOME! Yay Chris!

Even before....

Even before I worked in the same office as Chris, I could tell he was awesome. He had this way of making you feel comfortable when you had to do something nerve racking, like make a video or be photographed. He always has positive things to say, and is more creative and talented than any one person should be! Since becoming his office neighbor, he has gone out his way to very patiently (he is seriously patient!) teach me new things and share his knowledge and talents. Chris is a gentleman, a kind soul, and just an all around wonderful guy. Good choice Mary :)
Congratulations Chris! You deserve it! One more feather in your cap :)

I can...

...corroborate all of the remarks previously posted. The covers of Info Magazine are nearly as iconic as New Yorker magazine. I'm looking forward to watching how the Valentine cover baby grows up.

Nothing more to add other than, "Thanks, Chris."

You did it!

You've accomplished what many have strived years or at least from when they started this Champion thing, to achieve and all it took was the current Champion randomly nominating you!

Just kidding!

Maybe.

You do deserve it though, because you are always willing to help, even when it involves a bunch of Twilight reading teens at a lock-in!

You're the best! Congrats!

I still haven't watched that Lost Skeleton of Cadavra dvd of yours...but I will real soon...honest!

Lost Skeleton...

You know, the second sequel is coming out soon. So you'll have "The Lost Skeleton Returns Again" and "The Lost Skeleton Walks Among Us" to look forward to seeing afterwards! :D
