The winner of this week's E2MQ is able to handily grab long phrases with a Ctrl+C, she's proficient with Page Rank algorithms and is faster than a speeding Ctrl+V. We'd like to introduce Super Quizzer, Hilary Newell of Nantucket!
While the rest of you wolfed down Cosi salads and veggie wraps last Monday lunchtime, Hilary tackled our list and correctly associated each with their author WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF THE E2MQ'S POSTING!
Hilary Newell is the advertising coordinator and Greenhouse Production Manager for Bartlett’s Farm on Nantucket island.
She is also a garden writer and amateur photographer. Her husband, Pete Smith, is Bartlett's Senior Horticulturist, and they have two children, 22 and 18. Hilary edited Bartlett’s new food book, Harvesting Nantucket: The Taste of Bartlett’s Ocean View Farm expected to be on bookstore shelves this Memorial Day. By her own admission and as she puts it, "I am also adept at using google ; )." (To say nothing of her emoticon skills.)
In recognition Hilary has been presented with an inscribed copy of Hugh Rawson's UNWRITTEN LAWS: The Unofficial Rules of Life As Handed Down by Murphy and Other Sages.
Congratulations to one of our newest Friends of Edisonet, Hilary Newell!
