[PSUBS-MAILIST] Re: Captain Ned Beach Award

["Mark Steed" <plutomark@mail.astate.edu>]

Mike: What a great idea! I could not agree more and commend you highly for your suggestion. I cannot think of a more fitting award than the one you propose. You are exactly right about the influences of great men such as Captain Beach on us individually and as a group. Growing up in a "naval" family, Beach was certainly one of my heroes. Where do we need to go from here? I certainly support any effort to make this award a reality. Again, my compliments and sincere thanks for your excellent recommendation. Bravo Zulu Mike.
