We would like to thank Jean Weber for setting up the first online voting site for DUFF. It allowed fans to vote right up to the very end of the deadline. And thanks also to Jack Weaver for making the ballot and the results available at the FANAC Fan History Website (http://fanac.org/). We received 38 votes online.
