A message from: The Directors
elcome to the Centennial of the LakeCounty Bar Association and anotherrendition of the Blues Brothers,
oops, I mean the Gridiron Musical Show andReview. Every two years the LCBA shootsitself in the foot to entertain you, produce alot of laughs and groans with a satirical lookat ourselves, our community and the worldaround us, through the talents of ourmembers. Or in my case, through the lack ofsuch talent. Two years ago, then LCBAPresident Scott Gibson said that the show is called “TheGridiron” for a reason. But then he didn’t tell us what itwas. As for me, I’m still trying to figure it out. At least Ipromise not to go running around in one of my wife’sskirts trying to pass it off as a kilt. Oh wait, is that acomment indicative of the attitude of the GridironShow? You betcha! Some of you may find characterswhich are remarkably similar to you, and may even beassigned your name. Don’t worry any similarity topersons living or dead is purely coincidental. HA!
I and the entire Board of the LCBA would like to givethanks to all of the supporters of the Gridiron. Thisincludes both you, the patrons of the Gridiron alongwith those who purchased advertising space in theplaybill or otherwise financially supported theGridiron. Without your contributions our Board wouldnot be able to join the Hellenic Bar Association’s Boardon their annual summer excursion to the Greek Isles inJune after Marjorie takes over. The Gridiron crewwould also like to thank all of our “in-kind” sponsors.Especially those who helped provide the beer we drank
at rehearsals. However, since Rick Lesser isno longer LCBA President (we havesuccessfully foiled three of his coupattempts) and is not in the show, there hasbeen no depletion of our Scotch reserves.
I would like to thank Judge Veronica “yesthis is my real hair color” O’Malley, as ourDirector with the virtually as tall, Janelle “Idon’t ever want to go back into privatepractice” Christensen, from the State’s
Attorney’s Office, as our Musical Director. Our headwriter was once again the man with the shiniest headin the LCBA, John Quinn. Who knows who was behindthe tech crew? I certainly don’t. It was supposed tohave been Mike Mermel, but Elvis has left the building.Lastly, we have to thank The Band. Rick Danko, LevonHelm and Robbie Robertson? No, our very own bandled by Craig “will I have a partner after the electionsare over” Pierson backed up by the man with the besthead of hair in the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, TomPasquesi, and Deputy Marty “I’m thankfully notrelated to Perry” Smith, with the special musicalappearance of Richard “I’d rather be caddying at theSenior Open” Kopsick.
So sit back, relax, have a few more cocktails and enjoythe 2012 Gridiron!
Irreverently yours,Perry Smith
P. S. – I’ve only got two more President’s Pages to go.YES!!!!!!!!!!!
