This year I asked Carlon M. O'Malley, PGER if I could use his name on a trophy? He said, "Yes, if I can pay for it." So we came up with this, giving an award for the HIGHEST SCORING OFFICER of the contest. This year with a score of 93.779 and 47.100 under impressiveness the winner of the first annual "CARLON M. O'MALLEY AWARD" from Norristown Lodge 714 is Loyal Knight, CAROL HORTON. The photo of this trophy will be on this web site soon.
