Dave and Sheri, this sounds great.

Sheri, did you mean the Richard L. Porter Award?

Hi Sheri!

Sounds great to me. Go ahead and send it and I'll give it a go.

I have recalled her telling me she started in 1975, so that means I was twelve. Guess I was off by a couple years, but don't tell anyone. *lol*

Cheers,
Dave

We also might consider nominating her for the non-Federationist of the year award.  I'll be glad to send you the language if you're interested in writing it up and submitting it to the awards committee.
