Paul states: We still can honor the really, really good ones by giving the Awards of Merit or something to that effect.> Sorry Paul, but I thought the really, really good ones are our Selects. Do we need another category to make them outstanding? I don't think so. I also feel that the judge who was chosen to judge the National by the membership should have the right to put up as many Selects as he/she feels necessary to have this honor bestowed upon.
