Aurio and Eleanor were the two runners-up last year. We discussed each nominee
in turn. When discussion ended, we wrote our choices on a card and handed them
to Sheldon and Lodia who then left the room and tallied the results. The 2012
recipient of the Minuteman Cane Award was Aurio Pierro. The first runner-up was
Eleanor Smith, followed by Phyllis Rand and Shirley Buck. Beverly Kelley offered
to inform Aurio and she will let him know what to expect on Patriot's Day.
