[sac-board] Marathon Results - preliminary

The tally that follows is a preliminary listing and should not be used
in any article.  Once the results have been verified they will be posted
here and or posted on the SAC web site.

Originally I had hoped to have the SAC webmaster post these results,
unfortunately I didn't get them to him soon enough, he works from about
2pm to 11pm, for the posting to occur today (Monday) because my nap to
help recover from the marathon went into double over time.

What I'd like for SAC, EVAC and TAAA officers to do is review the list
for correctness - are names spelled correctly, do scopes seem
reasonable, etc.  Those finding 110, 109 and 108 objects qualify for the
telescope plate and they should be members in good standing with
our/your club.

Today is Monday, and I'd like for the list to be reviewable for the next
three evenings, making Thursday the date for final decision.  Please let
me know, either way, by Thursday if there is any error with any of the
entries.

Once this is done the final list will be reposted, hopefully on the SAC
site, announced here and will be used for ordering the awards.

There is one item to be resolved between SAC and EVAC and that is paying
for members that hold dual club membership.  It turns out there are only
three; Tom Polakis, Dawn Schur and myself.  I have used the order given
on the list that was turned in.  In the past there hasn't been much ado
about this dual organization and I'd hope there isn't much this time.
My proposal is to use the club that appears first.  Any comments or
concerns about this, let me know.

Thanks to all for your support,
aj
