OUTSTANDING COMMAND PLAYER AWARD: 
=================================

Markku Herd (XO, USS ANDROMEDA)- As was explained to me: "...the man is 
a saint, helping way past the requirements of an XO. If there is a place 
for good XO's in heaven, he is assured of a front seat."  I don't think 
anything further needs to be said.

Jenna Povey (XO, USS EXCALIBUR)- As the XO she has been always 
working to keep on the mission even in the worst moments. She is 
always a support for the rest of the crew.

Mary McNeely (CO, USS AMBERJACK)-  ASR currently has a wide range 
of unit styles in terms of interaction and pace. Very few ASR Units 
can come close to matching the significant level of interaction and 
energy, enthusiasm, and competent writing that USS AMBERJACK 
possesses under the leadership and command of Mary McNeely.  Mary's 
energy and enthusiasm not only propels the other people on her unit, 
it also inspires others aware of her efforts to do more. ASR has 
many fine people contributing these days in command positions and 
elsewhere, but none come close to taking care of business as Mary 
McNeely; ASR no one currently is as committed, as accessible, as 
talented and valuable as Mary McNeely. Mary is one of ASR's Most 
Outstanding Player this year and that is an opinion shared by 
multiple ASR contributors.

Edward Bell (CO, SB SAIKAI) and Anna Cordray (XO, SB SAIKAI) were CO's 
of two units that were functioning better than the baseline ASR units of 
the last year. Not satisfied with that they worked together towards a goal 
of building one strong unit out of those two - a unit that would have the 
opportunity to be one of ASR's strongest, most vital units. 

Ed and Anna warrant appreciation and recognition for being committed 
to making the effort to provide an interesting opportunity for people who 
want to interact with more than 2 other people. Developing 
Starbase Saikai into a unit that provides opportunities for 
interaction and adventure and fun is an ongoing process.  ANNA CORDRAY 
deserves special recognition for her willingness to merge her unit 
with Ed's and take the second in command role of the Starbase. She 
has worked endlessly with the new CO to assist in making the station 
unit ready to RP in a week and a half, and was instrumental in some 
of the harder details of the merger and in bringing the station 
billet status to 75%.

Rafe Cabrero (OPS, USS KUSANAGI)- Mr. Cabrero's unique creative 
flair has helped KUSANAGI to explore new frontiers in writing and 
examine complex and well-developed stories.

Reginald McKamie (Task Force SIERRA)- Mr. McKamie has been a central 
figure to story development in Task Force SIERRA. He has been the 
motivating factor for many of the writers in the unit, drawing them 
into the story.

Kevin Thigpen (XO, USS FEARLESS)- Mr. Thigpen has been a major 
influence and driving force in the FEARLESS soty. His dedication to 
the unit and ASR is without bounds as he regularly drives himself 
and others to post. His hard work and dedication are appreciate by 
all of his fellow writers.

Jeffery Trock (XO, USS NOVA)- Mr. Trock has long brought his special 
touch to NOVA. Or should that be that the XO is touched in the head? 
His character, Jack Danger, brings a unique flair that manages to 
motivate and entertain at the same time in a way that is truly 
unique and brings life and fun to the writing environment.



OUTSTANDING PLAYER AWARD:
=========================

Kevin Thigpen (CNS, USS KIROV) continues to be the dominant force on 
KIROV.   He has taken a substantial role in plot development and 
character interaction and is recognized for his sustained enthusiasm 
and creativity. He is adept at moving the plot while ensuring that 
all are involved.  Kevin is truly a team player.
 
Mike Noorman (COU, USS NEBULA)- It was extremely hard to nominate 
one person this time around.  However, Mike Noorman has helped bring 
the ship to a new high in posting rate, creativity, and fun. His 
posts are always invaluable to further the plot along, while 
containing lots of activity for everyone. He is unselfish in his 
posts, and is always willing to help pass on information about his 
character, or to assist in furthering the plot. His posts are always 
a joy to read and are always excellent. Mike is an invaluable member 
of the NEBULA team.
 
Wesley Sterner (COU, USS YORKTOWN) joined the YORKTOWN a few months 
ago, during a very rough time. But through it all he still hung in 
there with the unit, and posted under the most adverse conditions.

Lena Rose (CMO, USS COVENTRY/SB SAIKIA; COU, USS CIRCE)- Took the 
reigns of several characters after their writers went silent.  One 
of two writers carrying the story for COVENTRY.  Always looking for 
ways to improve the storyline and to inject interesting twists and 
turns when ever she can.  Additionally, Ms. Rose is the consummate 
team player: she writes a tone of JP's, picks up hooks left by 
others, and draws others into her writing. She is a fixture on CIRCE 
whose contributions bring richness and depth to the unit.

Dean Winslow (FCO, USS KRONSHTADT)- Created an unanticipated 
development in the shore leave storyline in San Francisco - an 
earthquake in the Bay area - that sparked several writers to react 
to that disaster responding with excellent posts from their 
character's perspective; some that showed how a local tragedy could 
impact people in other parts of the world, and some that showed how 
those local tragedies so important to the locals are but footnotes 
to other some in other regions.

Scott Ramos (ENGXO, USS AMBERJACK)- Scott's characters are the glue 
that hold the rest of the crew together. His characters always 
provide the focus and the common sense that some of the characters 
lose in the face of danger and adversity.

Antje Bechtoldt (TAC, USS NOVA; OPS, USS DAEDALUS)- Ms. Bechtoldt is 
an inspiration to captain and crew alike. Her creative vision and 
boundless energy bring out the best in her fellow writers.

Jenna Povey (ENG, USS KUSANAGI)- Ms. Povey is commended for her 
tireless dedication to KUSANAGI. She has been the central writer in 
the story of the ship and has continuously encouraged the best 
efforts in others.

HONORS TO RETIRED PERSONNEL:
============================
Scott Lusby (CINCSF)- Mr. Lusby is the first person in the history 
of the club to serve two discontinuous terms in the chief executive 
position. He has been a tireless leader, always willing to do 
anything to support the club and its efforts to be a successful 
shared-writing environment. Without his contributions, the club 
would be a poorer place.

Andrew Catterick (CSFO)- Mr. Catterick came into the role of CSFO in 
a difficult time, and immediately brought a calming stability to the 
BUPERS office.  His steady hand as a veteran senior administrator was 
invaluable as we transitioned away from ALB and into a direct-admission 
club.  His advice and counsel during his 6 months on the job were of 
great value.
