Final Thanks

A special thank you to Spencer Neighborhood and Steven Miller for supporting both our first and second breakfasts after the contest. We are deeply indebted (very deeply! So much indebted! Such wow!) to Mark Conger and Louis Moga of Requiem for the Blue Civic (or, more recently, The Dearly Departed Mr. Bett) for their valiant tech assistance leading up to and even during the contest. Without them, we'd still be holding the contest from a cardboard box with dial-up internet and everyone would be calling in their answers from rotary phones.
