Major Awards
Editor’s note
When planning this second edition, our goal was to have an appendix listing every major achievement of our club and its
members. The draft compilation numbered in the hundreds; our page budget could not accommodate it. What follows is a list
that is not complete, but is a best effort at being representative. Every contest is hard and every win deserves recognition. To those
persons whose achievements have suffered from the editor’s pencil, please accept my regrets.
