1 Tony Christina Award Tony Christina Died May 19, 1968 Foreword Tony Christina possessed outstanding qualities in the pursuit of his avocation - Pistol shooting and competition: He was an even-tempered, extremely dependable, honest and forthright individual. He was not one to seek recognition in any way, for his endeavors, but rather was often embarrassed with plaudits afforded him. Tony was rich in friends and possessed a humility unparalleled in the league. Qualifications 1. The person selected must have demonstrated an unstinting willingness to help new shooters to achieve in their marksmanship endeavors. 2. A person who could never say No to any job, no matter how big or how small, selected for him to accomplish. 3. A person possessing a ready smile, jovial word and a dependability, second to none. 4. A person who would accept unequivocally, any office and fulfill any position and attend any committee function assigned to him by his fellow club and State organization members. 5. A person, who, on many occasions, doesn t wait to be asked to do a job, but rather initiates the endeavor himself for the betterment of the shooting fraternity, in general. The Tony Christina Award in no way, conflicts with the coveted Arnold Goodwin Award. The Christina award is not confined to Club functions, but rather encompasses the entire shooting fraternity throughout the State of Connecticut and its connections with National events Dick Beaulieu Willimantic Ray Foster Colts Tanya Metaksa Charter Oak Dom Verizzi Windsor Locks Adam Vabalas Manchester Art Gosnell Hfd Ins Group John Pikow Colts Norm Girardin Colts Doug Heisler Manchester E.E.
