Pat,
Excellent, excellent list of winners. Each and everyone fulfilling all qualification's for winning. I'm a little concerned about the hold up on the Lou Jacobs Award. You are not going to end up "pulling a Grimaldi", and tarnish this thing, are you? What is an AEMI by the way? Congrats to all the winners.
