Juli Nuttall receives
the Golden Pen Award from Debbie Reed
|
Juli
Nuttall Awarded the Golden Pen Award
Juli Nuttall was so shocked,
she started hyperventelating.
As she sat with 400 other
USA Volleyball officials and scorekeepers from around the country,
she gasped as she heard her name broadcast behing the phrase, "And
the winner of the 2005 Golden Pen award is . . ."
Nuttall was named the USA
Volleyball 2005 outstanding scorekeeper as chosen by a committee
under the direction of USA Volleyball. The award is called the Golden
Pen Award.
Nuttall chuckles as she
recalls hearing her name. "I was sitting there thinking of the
other officials in the room I might know and who's been around a
while, and I hear my name. I blink a few times and (fellow official
Feickert) Jim says, "Juli, get up!"
I stumble my way out to
the aisle and get to the front of the room and there are 400 people
there. They hand me this award and make me say something to everybody.
I just kind of fumbled around. When I got back to the table, I asked
Jim if I even spoke in complete sentences. I was so flustered."
She is the first official
from Arizona to receive the illustrious award.
