Jon had this to say about this year's presentation: "Nobody loved WPGU more than Tom Thomas. Through his always entertaining stories (no matter how many times I heard them), you could tell Tom had a passion to make WPGU the best station it could be, and to have a some good times along the way. No one better exemplified this spirit, enthusiasm and love for PGU more than Joe Smyth."
