This is a huge honor, and we are pleased to be able to display the award logo on our front page. Well deserved thanks go to our proofreaders who diligently scour these pages for the smallest misprint. In no particular order, these proofreaders are: Dan Sullivan,Dick Kranz, Dottie Stanzack, Frank Johnson, Hugh Ross, Jim Walsh, Jim Peabody, Larry Hurley, Linda Ritch, Marilyn Schupp, Nancy Sorvino, Peter Dowley, Phil Van Italie and Rolf Nijhuis. Thanks to all for a job well done. Another copy of the logo is presented here.
