Dowagiac Lodge 889 Tuesday evening recognized Dave Scott as "Elk of the Year" and Hal Shue as "Officer of the Year."
Scott, an Elk for 21 years and two-term Exalted Ruler from 2002-2004, is foreman for the City of Dowagiac Electric Department.
Past Exalted Ruler Kurt Wiesemes presented Shue, 2004-2005 Exalted Ruler, with his plaque.
Shue in turn awarded 2004-2005 Elk of the Year to Scott "for his devotion, dedication and loyalty to the lodge, and for his outstanding work in promoting the lodge and all of its functions.
On a lighter note, Shue reminded Scott of the time he "ordered custard on his cheeseburger," apparently blurting out catsup and mustard as a single word to a startled waitress.
