Belated NAQT Midwest Sectional Thanks

An old adage:  Better late than never.

In the course of planning and preparing for a tournament, there are 
those who are have gone above and beyond the call of duty.  Paul 
Hohler, Kausik Umanath, Joel Gluskin, and Cheryl Barkauskas are four 
members of our team that have gone above and beyond what could be 
expected.  Without their critical leadership and sacrifices of time 
and effort, we would have not been able to run the tournament with 
any semblance of organization.

Three schools in particular have also gone above what can be normally 
expected: Truman State and Grinnell brought critical assistance in 
seven additional staff members, while Wisconsin brought a multitude 
of clocks. Without this help, running this tournament would have been 
much more difficult.  

Thanks are also in order for our readers and scorekeepers: Marc 
Einstein, Jonathan Frick, Cheryl Barkauskas, David Kanon, Jay 
Turetsky, Joe Meisner, Mike Schneider, Mike Devine, Lori Currier, 
Aashoo Tandon, Jonathan Frick, Jamie Doenges, Ken Mitchell, Steve 
Frappier, Hiram Satterwhite, Bryan Hudak, Jenny, Lance Finney, Mike 
Tolles, and Roman Garnett, as well as NAQT representatives R. Robert 
Hentzel, Eric Hillemann, and Emily Pike.

I would like to apologize to all of the teams for the excessive 
delays at the beginning of the tournament, including the mess with 
the schedules, equipment, and the change in the assembly room.  I 
certainly hope that we can provide a better experience in the future 
that allows folks to get back home earlier in the evening.

Many thanks for those who attended, and I hope you had a wonderful 
experience.
