I agree completely.

In my experience, I have seen that after the passing of someone  who people 
hold 
dear, there is often an effort to create an ongoing  memorial, an award, a 
fundraiser, scholarship, etc. Those efforts however noble  and initially 
successful, general don't last more than 2-4 years and they are discontinued.

 
Remember Paul at this year's 50th Anniversary event, let's hold him in our 
memory, continue techniques he passed on to some of us, and have a good time 
with our cars.

Jim,

while I think that it's a great idea, my experience with something similar with 
the SAAB club is that it's a meaningful award for a short period of years and 
after that the meaning is lost and no one knows why the award is being given.  
Maybe an annual reminder on this list for those who knew him.
