Bernhard B  (daboss)

Once upon a time, there was a 4 year old girl who had a beanie buddy named Steg.  Steg went everywhere with the little girl.  But one day – disaster!  Steg was lost.  The little girl was devastated. Her mommy tried to find Steg but couldn’t.  A very nice man named Bernhard felt very sad for the little girl, and he decided that HE would find Steg and reunite the two buddies!  He tracked Steg, who had actually gone in search of his sister Stegi, around the country.   See this topic to read the whole story.  We hope that Steg finds his way home to the little girl very soon!

As the little girl’s mommy said:

” Bernhard showed us that this site isn’t just about books.  It is a site about friends.  His was truly a Random Act of Kindness.  And I don’t know how I will ever be able to repay him.”

Many members were touched by this.  Bernhard, you are our Member of the Month for May.  Congratulations!

Mendy

Mendy was one of our Games Mods in the Games Forum and has long been a quiet, gentle presence on the site, working hard behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly.  She doesn’t go unnoticed, though! These are just a few of the comments we have gotten about Mendy:

“She is a dedicated games moderator…she’s smart, informed, and open-minded. We would be lost without her!”

“She is always pleasant, thoughtful & is just an all around great person!  Mendy makes everyone feel welcome and will go out of her way to answer questions for people no matter what the subject.”

“She is so diplomatic and fair… She is the person that started me with games and has been a great help to a newbie player.”

“She’s very friendly and a great swapper.”

Gamers agree: you are a winner!   Mendy, you are our Member of the Month for April.  Congratulations!

Dartha

Dartha has a big fan club; members love her posts in forums with links to funny things, silly images, or just a bit of her own quirky humor.  Members also appreciate her time finding and uploading book cover images where they are missing.  Some typical comments we have gotten:

“She lifts up my spirits when I need to laugh. No matter how horrible I feel (physical disability), I can log on to PBS and find a forum she participates in and laugh.”

“She has given her time to put covers on books. She made an offer on a thread in the discussion group, and wow, does my shelf look better! Thanks, Dartha!”

“Everyone is glad to hear from her when she posts.  I am always cheered up by her posts…my day is always brighter for a little “dose of Dartha”!”

Members agree: you are our Ambassador of Mirth!  A little light-hearted humor is a blessing in these difficult times. Dartha, you are our Member of the Month for March.  Congratulations!

Hunter1

Hunter1 is a PBS Tour Guide, the hostess of the Diva Swap, and check out her avatar- very appropriate for Valentine’s Day, we think!  Some of the comments we got about Hunter1:

“She is always diplomatic and caring. She fosters a sense of caring and sharing amongst all of us.

“I enjoy talking to her every month on the Diva Board in the game section….Plus who doesn’t like somebody who bakes fantastic desserts and then share the recipes!

“As a tour guide and live help worker, she has been wonderful. She has had a lot of patience with my novice questions. .”

Hunter1, you have touched a lot of people here at PBS.   You are our Member of the Month for February.  Congratulations!

JJO

We have gotten SO many reports about Jacquelyn’s kindness and helpfulness as a Tour Guide. She has done so much to help new (and even not-so-new) members navigate the site, and they write in spontaneously to let us know. Some of the comments we have gotten:

“Somehow I got stuck putting my wish list on a vacation hold, though I have no plans to go anywhere any time soon (unfortunately). I could not find a way of removing the hold, so … I contacted a Tour Guide. She was very, very nice and competent and I’d like to mention her by name: Jacquelyn O. (JJO)”

“Due to the hurricane, I was out of electricity for 9 days. It just got up tonight, and I found that books had been ordered and eventually cancelled due to my not responding….[Jacquelyn’s] answer sure took care of a lot of questions I have for now and for the future!! She is terrific.”

“I’m not very computer-savvy…I was feeling a little intimidated, but Jacquelyn helped me get started and now I feel at home.  She is really wonderful – give her a gold star!”

I’m sure I asked her questions she has answered many times before, but she didn’t act like that was the case…She seemed really glad to help me and was very friendly…”

Jacquelyn, you have really made an impression on the members who ask you for help – you are a behind-the-scenes angel and a true PBS Ambassador!  We thank you for all of your help and kindness Guiding other members.  You are our Member of the Month for January.  Congratulations!

“…Highly intelligent with an off the wall sense of humor and a good heart, this gal is always interesting and fun to follow…”

“She is consistently kind and levelheaded, and always helpful when possible….”

“Chris has helped many members with her image tutorial. She’s always kind and helpful … She hosts fun swaps! She’s thoughtful, writing notes to members on her handmade paper, sending surprise books and hot cocoa and just an all-around nice person! She makes PBS a great place to hang out!”
