Sorry, I like Susan, but I do not think she qualifies as your e-mail specifically says to e-mail Kevin DIRECTLY, not to the list.
So if we are to follow the instructions to the letter. .......
I sent it directly to Kevin! With copies/hard proof of all of my memberships, I am also a member of AHS, RMMLA, MLA, and SAMLA.

Susan--
I'd be surprised if you did not fit #1. I'll declare you the tentative winner of #1. Just in case you subsequently disqualify yourself, anyone else who thinks they qualify for #1 should go ahead and contact me (off-list!) just in case.
For #2 and #3 PLEASE remember to contact me OFF LIST at [log in to unmask] to avoid giving away the answers or revealing Charlie Webster's killer.
Kevin
