That is not exactly the way I put it. And I wasn't complaining, only saying I think the winner is going to come from a relatively small tepee.

Unless they surprise me, I think the recipient will be Rick Schummer, Ken Levy, or Craig Boyd. All extremely deserving. I could make a case for any of them.

>>Doug, you are one of my favorite people in the FoxPro community. But I stand by what I said. I was not making any specific predictions other than saying I think it will be someone from the relatively small "old boys club." You notice I did not reply to Naomi when she asked something much more specific. (This is as close as I will come to specifics -- no, Naomi, I did not mean Craig). The whole thing strikes me as a necessary pageant before announcing the agreed-on recipient.
