<\/p>\n
This morning was the annual awards ceremony at MMU..   That’s the day that the school  awards the Sam Cohn Musical Soul Award..   Any kid or teacher can nominate any other kid for the award. The winner gets to pick out a guitar of his or her choice at Advance Music. Diane, Max and I got up to MMU around 9 \/It still feels so funny to look around these halls and know that Sam’s not waling down them anymore. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The whole school was down in the gym.. it was a great scene.. lots of awards for lots of cool talents. <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Here’s Jake getting some sort of award for something.. all I know is that he was wearing his Sam shirt… <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Maybe it was a music award… because here he is getting photographed with r. Pilsbury and Urion ..   Note sure.. but I do love his shirt !<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Avry got soemthign too.. Maybe it was musical as well.. cuz here she is with M.. I mean Ms. Bauer. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Then it was time for the Sam Cohn Musical Soul Award.   The three of us walked up in front of all those kids..<\/p>\n
<\/div>\n

Jen B. handed us the basket with the nominations in it.  Shes been so reat helping us get this going ! . Diane reached in and choose at random.. That’s how Sam gets his say !<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was a great choice.. We all choked up as Diane read the winning nomination .. It was our buddy Kasey… Unbelievable !.. Sam picked well. Sam and Kase have been buds for as long as I can remember. Sam was always at Kasey’s or Kasey and his bro were always at ours. I love those guys..<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Max showed everyone the award with the video ‘s running. We’ll take a picture of Kasey and his guitar and put it on here. along with Meghan G.  from last year.. and all the guitar winners in years to come. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

One cool thing is that there’s already a picture of Kasey on the plaque.. Here’s one of our pictures of Sam the Vampire with a much younger looking Kase. <\/div>\n


<\/center>
It was such a great morning.. We went home feeling so good  about Kasey getting this guitare.. Sam’s spirit is still moving in this world !<\/p>\n

On the way out we saw these posters for the Voices Movie premier (Now called ‘Shout it out’.. It’s cool to see Max;s name on the poster. I can’t wait to see the movie !<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

OK.. time to sleep.. Thanks to everyone who helped iwht the Sam Cohn Award.. good night everyone !  Gnite Sam !
