Feel free to make corrections and supply more data.

[Mike Gilbert]

When Frank Gary passed away Don and I became honorary vice presidents if my memory is correct.  The bottom two lines under 1997 are replicated in the first two lines of 1998, so should be eliminated the way I'm reading it.   The entire history, including national meet winners, should be recorded in the newsletters.
Thanks for your work on this John.

[Jean]

I have a list of all the Lifetime achievement winners written down for my own information.  Let me know if you need that information.

[Jean]

I just found it, Michael's name has a type-o in it...

[Schroeder]

Thanks John for putting this together.  I've been anxious to see the list.  This is important information to our club's history.  When it is finished, maybe you could add it to the history tab of the website.
