Hi All, I received a response from Eddie out of Australia and he would be happy to judge for us. His email from his daughter's account is attached below. If we don't have a problem with him being inaccessible to the internet at small stretches, then I think we have our third judge. If everyone is agreeable to the arrangement, I'll send a response to him and get him finalized as a judge. On another note, I received an email from Dennis Deitz declining invitation to be a judge for this year's contest. He will have a full load of coursework this fall and isn't in a position to be a judge. I have yet to hear from Tony Gomez after several pm's at the APC forums. I'm going to try once more to contact him, but we ought to think of another domestic judge if he doesn't pan out.
