Congratulations to all of the
Congratulations to all of the winners. I only wish that someone had made me aware of Code One Hanover and Reverend Hanover winning the two year old awards.
For that, even at my age I would have left the sunny and warm confines of South Florida to brave the elements in Frozen Ontario. Maybe next year I hope.
