I'm delighted to post the good news that Mary Leah Christmas has won
an award for her review of Gregg Andrews' _Insane Sisters: Or, the
Price Paid for Challenging a Company Town_ (Columbia: University of
Missouri Press, 1999), which appeared on the Forum on the
hundred-somethingth birthday of Clemens, 30 November 1999.

The review placed first in the 'web page editorial' category of the
2000 Delaware Press Association Communications Contest, which was the
first round of a national competition.  The review will now be entered
in the professional communications contest sponsored by the National
Federation of Press Women.

The review may be found on the TwainWeb reviews page, in the section
'Other titles of interest':

Congratulations, Mary!
