Dear Mark and others,
        While I wholeheartedly agree with everyone's statements
(save the unintentional use of negatives in one of them) regarding
the beloved Bernd (and I do not use that adjective lightly), please
correct me if I am wrong:
        The Harvey Awards are at the discretion of their founders,
Geoff Notkin and Steve Arnold. The ONLY exception was when
last year people "rose up" and demanded that they, themselves
receive the award for their estimable and unquestionable contributions
to the meteorite world.
        If I am right (and, as my wife daily reminds me, I am often wrong)
then The Harvey Awards are and should be solely at the discretion
of Geoff and Steve. Therefore, any such nomination should have been
made directly (and privately) to them.
        While in this case, I am sure they will be heeding public sentiment,
but future nominations really should go through them and not be
public.
        Again, I am open to correction by Geoff and/or Steve - others
merely have opinions unless they can site one or both of them making
a public announcement establishing "the people's choice" as an ongoing
tradition, as they would be the only ones who would have the authority
to do so (Given my worsening memory, perhaps they have and I am
clearly exposing myself as the fool I am?)
        Best wishes, Michael
