[NW Modeling List]

Mike,
Thanks for your thoughts.  What happened last year and I suspect may be the
case this year as well, is that many categories receive no entries at all,
while a few get several entries.  I am of course optimistic that we will
get a good number of entries at Radford, but I still do not see us ticking
the majority of the boxes.  At our recent BoD meeting, I spoke with Ken and
Tim on the topic of prizes, and they were not concerned about offering
commissary gift certificates for the categories that garner more that one
entrant.
