PCCO - Leslie P. Dauterman Award

This award is given in the name of Leslie Dauterman, one of the most spirited and active members the PCCO has ever seen. She served as President, and on various committees. Her enthusiasm for this organization was unmatched. She often gave of her time and sometimes even her own money to make sure the PCCO kept running.

Several years ago Leslie passed away. Those of us who remember her and her actions thought it fitting that this award be created in her honor. The Leslie P. Dauterman Award is presented to someone in the community who, either in the past year or over time, has gone above and beyond the call of duty in service to the Pagan Community.

The period for accepting nominations for this award will be announced at a later date.

If you know of someone worthy of this award please send the person's name, contact information, and a brief statement as to why you think they should receive the award to the Operations Committee at:

More Information

Two weeks ago, we made a community call for healing for Leslie Dauterman. This sad news came to us on Friday via the PCCO (The Pagan Community Council of Ohio) list... "This morning (7/1/2000) at 8:05 AM Leslie Dauterman died. I'll be sending out more details later but right now this is all still sinking in here. To all the people sending good wishes, good energy and to all doing healing work: Thank you on behalf of Leslie and I thank you for me".

7/3/2000 Update: "There will be a memorial service for Leslie on Sunday - July 9th at 2:30pm - Location is the First UU Church at 93 W. Weisheimer Rd in the Clintonville area of Columbus. (Weisheimer is north of Henderson Rd at High St) {UU or Unitarian Universalist Churches are VERY pagan friendly).

The WitchVox Staff sends our sincerest condolences to Stacy Brian Bartley and to the countless friends of Leslie and her family. It is clear to even a casual observer that Leslie was a valued member of the community and a true giver and Healer. The Neo-Pagan Community has lost a good one here, folks... Leslie is gone (for now) but her work and her light will shine for eternity. Thank YOU Leslie for what you have done for us all."

A Toast to Those Who Are Gone

For each of us there are those people who cross our paths, have an impact and are gone much too soon. Some of them have an impact in childhood, some in adulthood; some impact us deeply and irrevocably, some in small ways that are nonetheless never forgotten. Regardless of what our departed friends have meant to us in life, that meaning transcends beyond their deaths and stays with us in memories.

Here's a toast to those who are gone

Love and Blessings
