OK... for all those who patiently have awaited the moment

And all those who have not been patient

There were a number of really great nominees, most of them unable to accept the nomination for a variety of reasons, but we are left with two really great COGgers...without further ado,
Dan Breeden and
Mark Hartman

In the next days, look for Dan and Mark to submit their write-ups. Dan and Mark, this is the time to not be humble, but instread let COG know what you have done for the club, why you should be this years OtP traveler, and how you're gong to solve the Middle East problems and World Hunger.
In the mean time, and until the end of collections,
