By Editor Bob(cl_kaulana)

As near as I can recall, it was around April or May 1999 that I began handing out Vienna Awards. In March 2000, circumstances dictated that I give that honor to another Vienna community leader who has shown an interest in the position, CL Marg (clmu64u). Now she has had to give the honor of the Award over to her Evaluating Vienna compadre, Bill the PinWiz.
