The DJJD Committee ambushed Brett Reese at the Rueb today, informing him that he’s this year’s recipient of the Joseph Lee Heywood Distinguished Service Award.
The award “… is given to a Northfield citizen who exemplifies the commitment to public service which Joseph Lee Heywood lived and died for.”
