None of this could have been possible without the help of Eric Carpenter.  He single-handedly created the algorithm that allowed us to tally the votes easily.  Then he and Sondra Eklund did double duty to get the final votes tallied and ready in the time to announce.  Thanks too to the survey monkeys Sam Bloom, Katie DeKoster, Joy Wright, Kate Conklin, and Dick Holmes who all did the initial tallying.
