Patty P. (Patouie)

Patouie is here, there and everywhere on PBS – guiding other members as a Tour Guide, guiding other Tour Guides as a Tour Guide Leader, approving data corrections, approving cover image uploads, answering questions in the Forums….  We don’t think there is a part of PBS that Patouie has not made better!

Some of the comments we got about Patty include:

“My first day really using the site, she answered a few of my questions via “Live Help”. Since then I have submitted Book Data information which she corrected and responded to, and I also submitted several cover images which I know she was involved in approving. She is always very nice and informative in her correspondences and I get the impression she spends a lot of time on the site to the benefit of other members.”

“I love Patty – she’s been so patient with my questions!  I am so glad she is my Tour Guide!”

“She is so nice to everyone and I think she really embodies the sharing, caring spirit of PBS”

Elizabeth B. (Cattriona)

Elizabeth is a frequent Forum poster and a Tour Guide; we have been getting MoM nominations for her for a long time, even before she became assistant/finishing editor of the PBS Cookbook (anyone who wants more information about the PBS Cookbook can read about it here, and pre-order a copy here).  Some of the comments we got about Elizabeth include:

“She is always there with helpful guidance for both new members and old, and always does it with a (virtual) smile.”

“…Her posts are always informative and helpful. She is so polite and friendly in how she responds to posts.”

“…for the hard work and countless hours she has volunteered in order to make the PBS Cookbook a reality for all of the PBS members.”

“She’s a sweetheart,always willing to help…she really brightens up every corner of PBS she visits.”

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.”
