	I reported that CONJURATION won Best Specimen at Shelby County, TN.  
I did not vote for it for that reason.  There was a horn missing on 
the terminal bloom.  But, I was outvoted.

	Donald, I am glad you brought this up.  Should a horned variety be 
best specimen if it is missing a horn?   We looked this up in the JT 
book, but it does not mention any penalty.  I think the terminal 
really should be 'fully equipped.'  I voted to give this stalk of C a 
blue, but I would not give it my best speciman vote.
