no, last year 3rd place received a $1,000 scholarship. I hope the same holds true for this year!

Thomas,

Hope you get that nice 3rd place prize. I'm still paying off school loans, so I understand how much every cent counts.

In Jesus, Mary, & Joseph,

Tito

e.,

Voted twice?!

Don't you have any integrity?

This isn't the U.S. Presidential elections, sheeeesh!

Integrity?

The papal state I represent is rightly accorded the 2 votes. The implied compromise in integrity would be to not have done so.

e. - haha!

and considering i won 3rd place by over 2x the number of 4th, I'm not going to fret over a couple double-voters. :)
