RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] 2005 Award Nomination Status

Title: Message
You know what, I agree with all the nominations you have, I'd like to second them. Pierre's boat might be small and inexpensive, but there's considerable merit in building a successful sub on such a modest budget. Dan's detailed posts are invariably ones I find myself saving to my hard drive for future reference. For the Link Award (oceanographic research) I would nominate Karl Stanley. He doesn't hang out here on PSUBS, but I would nonetheless claim him as a PSUBer since he designed and built his sub with his own hands. It's true he's taking tourists rather than scientists, but check out the photos of wildlife on his website www.stanleysubmersibles.com.
 
I can't think of any particular nominees for the Archimedes award. 
 
cheers,

Alec

Hi,
 
This is still what I have. I guess the vote is on, however with the number of nominees everyone listed will get an award.
 
Last chance to hightlight a deserving PSUBer. I'll close this process on New Year's Day (01 Jan 2006).
 
Regards,
Ray
