I would like to congratulate Californian Shashank Soni as the only winner in last month’s ATPM Trivia Challenge. Shashank also correctly pointed out my error in the spelling of Don Larsen’s name. Apologies to Don, and an ATPM T-shirt is on its way to Shashank!
This month’s prize is the fabulous new ATPM t-shirt! The ultra-cool, 100% cotton t-shirt emblazoned with the ATPM logo on the front and our logo and motto on the back, goes to the first two correct entries I receive. Send your answers to: egoss@atpm.com. All readers are eligible to win once every twelve months.
