First off, Christie Gregory has scanned and posted ALL of the 2002 eligible Silver Strikes to the Unofficial Viewing page! Now that was a lot of work!

Then, after the nominees were set at ten, Dennis Finn provided ALL ten to me so that I could do the high quality scans for the Judge's Pamphlets and to re-post those images to the Top Ten Finalist site. Those same strikes will be used to display the Top Forty (actually 39) OTY Nominees at the Convention. Thank you Dennis Finn!

I would also like to thank IGT for takling out an ad in the Judge's Pamphlet, which very much helped defray the costs associated with putting out a color booklet. Again, Dennis Finn assisted in that endeavor, as well as several IGT individuals (whom I will identify in a separate Thank You).

Archie, as you know, doing the OTY Awards is not a one-person-show, there are others, to include yourself, that have helped in this year's efforts.

Thanks,

Jim Follis
