(NOTE: and even Rusty Burke received a nomination for "Rising Star" -- Although I think his "star" has risen to the near-Zenith by this time.)
NOTE: The vision is to move beyond the humble trophies awarded for this first year of the concept to a miniature figure of the actual "Cleopatre" bust in the REH home, done in ceramic, or possibly even bronze, aluminum, or spelter, on a wooden base and with engraved placarding.
