Winner of the Dandelion contest 2006

Rebekah Hendrie!

How the contest was won:

1:24 PM. Sharp-eyed Donna Loy emails saying she has found a bunch of dandelions on campus, asking if anyone has won yet.

1:38 PM. I reply "no" and she says, she just wanted to be the first to find some, not win the prize.

~ 1:45 PM. Offhand I mention to Henry Ferland that some Dandelions have been spotted by Donna Loy. He calls her to find out where they are, and goes off to get one. Just after he leaves, I mention to Rebekah that Henry is going out for the dandelion and this is the last chance to win before he gets back.

Rebekah goes outside the Emery Hall door, and within 15 seconds has her prize-winning specimen in hand.

A few seconds later, Henry arrives back with his 2nd place Dandelion. Unfortunately, there is only one prize: This year, it's a box of thin mints GS cookies. Yum!
