Peter Schaub Receives Paxton Award

Peter Schaub Receives Paxton Award

When Peter Schaub served as AAPA president in 2013-17, he inherited an organization at a low point. His persistent efforts and leadership brought the organization through the tough times, and when his second term ended the AAPA was much stronger.

In recognition of his efforts, The Fossils (the historians of amateur journalism) have named Peter the 2019 winner of the Russell L. Paxton Award for Service to Amateur Journalism.

The award was made September 4 at a picnic in Portland, Oregon, attended by AAPA members Laurie Kitzke, Heather Lane, L. W. “Jiyani” Lawson, and Ivan Snyder.
