[stylist] 2013 Writing Contest Winners

[Robert Leslie Newman]

Whooo, please forgive me --- I had the winners sent to all of the present
and past authors who entered our contest (though members were not included
in that list). I had intended to also send out the winners to the membership
and STYLIST, too --- but got swamped and --- brain dead.  Bad, Bad, Bad.
Pardon
