Re: Trophies

I know that when I got my first national trophy (10th of 10) that at the 
banquet that night I could hear the "cheers" of many friends and crossing 
the stage was worth it for me.  The night I got my second one (again the 
last trophy in class) it was less momentous.  Give the winners the option 
might be a good compromise.

in HIS grace thru Jesus,
Don
