The first came to my attention over the summer, more specifically, on Thu Aug 29, 2013 9:02 am, when I PM'd Cassie with, "Holy cats, [this person] so deserves Hawking when we get back to awarding those award things we call awards." And it was still true two months later when we were talking amongst ourselves about who to give Hawking to. So congratulations #1 go out to:
Ariella McManus!
The second recipient needs no clarification or introduction or explanation. This one sentence just sums it up perfectly: "I know this past year there have been times when I felt rather disenchanted with HOL for various reasons and she was one of the main reasons that went away." That right there is true on so many levels, and one of the many reasons this award has been awarded to...
Prof. Cassandra Lobiesk!
