Hi Everyone,
This year I am serving on the Hans Karlsson Award
committee. John Walz (johnwalz@ameritech.net)
is chair, and wanted to know if the LMSC had any nominations for the award this
year. I asked Paul, and he delegated the responsibility of canvassing the
EC on the matter to me. Below please find a description of the award
qualifications. If you know of someone you would like to nominate, please
let me know as soon as possible. If you have any questions let me know as
well.
Thanks and Regards,
Mat
