Thank you for the kind words Ernest. And I completely agree with your
comments. I especially have little hope of ever winning a silver rocket
(we know that Locus will always take that one home) but I sure would
like one of those tie tacks.

I'm another relative newcomer to WSFA (unless you count the many
Disclaves that I attended) but I've always been proud to have an
affiliation to a fan organization with such strong roots and so much
active talent. I predict that WSFA will have many more Hugos amongst
it's members in the years to come.
