HOA: 1968 eligibles list

Only one week ago, this list looked very different, particularly at the top...there are a lot of new names on the list (and, I might add, we have reached the point—January 1, 1968—where your friendly moderator has now been alive for two whole weeks).

By the way, you should check out the 1967 results on the results thread if you haven’t yet.

Post your ballots on the 1968 voting thread.
