I have done my best with the information which was submitted to me. 
Thanks to all the judges and debaters who helped assemble this information. 
Special thanks to Greg Simerly and Doug Duke for helping me track down 
missing information, and especially to Glen Strickland who said "let it be 
done." Some of the handwriting was difficult to decipher, but all of the
errors  here are certainly mine.
