Time to acknowledge the CRHers and amazing discoveries that stood out in 2008. I have some choices for winners but would like input for the other categories. On to the awards!
[blue]THE LJ ROOKIE OF THE YEAR AWARD[/blue]
Named after our resident silver queen who took the board by storm in January 2007.
My nominee for 2008 is [green]BBcardsRI[/green] aka Dave. He jumped into the CRH deep end and had some impressive totals for a first-timer. He showed a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and had lots of encouragement for others. You're the man this year Dave, congrats!
[blue]THE GMAN SEARCHER OF THE YEAR AWARD[/blue]
Named after the man whose search amounts leave everybody in the dust. GMan, we all aspire to be like you!
This year I nominate [green]Kestrelia[/green]. His search range knows no bounds. He has remarkable success in denoms most of us shun like quarters and small dollars, and his blog is always a great read. The KMan can sometimes give the GMan a run for his money. Nice going Brian!
[blue]CRH LEGACY AWARD[/blue]
In 2008 we bid a sad and far too early farewell to Steve the [green]Silver_Fox[/green]. Somewhere in California, bank tellers wonder why he hasn't stopped by recently. We'll miss his stories, his humor and his friendship.

I think it's a better idea to just list the favorites instead of voting on which single one is best. Don't want to exclude anyone's picks.
