FAAn Awards reminder

[libertango]

I didn't send this out before the cut-off for postmarked mailed votes, which was this past Thursday, Feb 26. That's my fault, and I apologize.

Email voting is open until this Thursday, March 5th.

At this writing, I have only 18 votes in hand. I think we'd all benefit from more votes than that.

On that topic, does anyone know (AKICOLJ) who would be a likely FAAn voter from Palatine, IL? I ask because I have a mailed ballot postmarked from there, but nothing else to identify the voter (nothing on the ballot [design flaw on my part], no return address).

Thanks for your time, help, and participation,

-- Hal O'Brien

Hal,

Fred & Betty Pohl live in Palantine, IL. I can see where Fred might have felt like voting in the FAAN Awards.

See you soon,

Thanks, but that's highly unlikely. It's almost certainly Steven Silver.
