This is an e-mail that was intended to be posted last Sunday, May 16. The
FDIM volunteer that was to do it had a family emergency and has been out of
touch since May 15. I left Dayton on May 17 with a similar family medical
issue. Upon returning late Friday, I am unable to confirm that the Hall of
Fame Inductees or award recipients have been posted to the various lists.
(My mail boxes are full!). What follows is the announcement. If this is a
repeat of data, I apologize for it and also for the lateness in getting the
info out. Next year we will have a better plan!!

Three people were inducted into the QRP Hall of Fame at FDIM 2010.
