Rick, great job on the AAMM. Actually the international AAMM, good to see Dr.
Aguirre and folks from out of state. Can't wait till the awards because that's
the most fun of the entire process.

All,
Thanks to all who submitted corrections to the preliminary list. The results
are now official and posted below. Feel free to share these results with those
who would be interested.
Next step: print the certificates and order the plaques. I will present the
awards at the May meeting of EVAC and SAC. If you are not in attendance, you
awards will be mailed to you after the meetings.
31 observers turned in checklists, 18 of whom qualified for a plaque (wow
more than half!), 8 First Place, 5 each Second & Third. While I didn't get a
complete count, we had about 85 folks in attendance.
We also had two imagers turn in checklists and both qualified for plaques as
well. I would like to see the Imaging Marathon grow a bit, hopefully the
success this year will inspire more to try.
I also want to thank all who offered their condolences on my Mother's
passing. It means a lot to me & my family.
So without further ado, The Official 2013 All Arizona Messier Marathon
