I too feel that I could not make a choice of ONE indiviudal of the year. First thought comes to mind would be of course, Max, for making this wonder available to all of us. Secondly, the folks that help keep it going, Joe, Pene, and others whom we don't even know for sure are behind the scene workers. Thirdly, all the wonderful folks that grace us here with their presence; ie:Jean Ritchie, who has had a large effect in all our lives, Art Thieme, whose determination and good sense of humor has inspired many of us, Catspaw, who we have seen through many rough times, all of us holding our breaths day to day for news of his progress. This is just a small sample of the many folks that have made this place a joy to come to, there are many others, too many to name. How can we make such a choice?
