A changed format this
year, with a more 'random' presentation of
nominees.
HOME
In many instances I
have tabulated the nominations in the form in which they were received,
so if you see 'me' nominated it refers to the original nominator and
not to myself. Thanks to all who sent nominations; thanks to all
Newbians for
making Gen-Newbie the rewarding place it is.
Elaine (chook) as the person who best carries on the spirit of Sandy Meyers:
