weighted 60%. The combined weighted score placed Cherri Reiber, 1st; Kathleen Raine,
2nd; Michael Barisone, 3rd; and Barbara Silverman, 4th. Christine Traurig was 5th and
earned a training grant to Europe which she will use this fall.
Ky may be scribing (scribe appeared so I was
"security") and flies home at 6:30. Typical travel snafus couldn't
