Essay Competition - Evaluation Update III

I should have known! The minute I said we might announce the results early, the scheduling gods heard us and threw a monkey wrench (a.k.a a boatload of snow) into our plans. We got hit by a snow storm and I could not even get to a post office to mail the essay papers to the next evaluator. Finally the papers left the shore (I had to jump across piles and snow and slush, so it is literally a shore) today. We will hopefully have something next week.

Essay Competition - Evaluation Update II
