If there is an entry that you found particularly beneficial, educational, quirky or just down right humorous, let us know. If you don’t recall the date of the issue, that is okay. Tell us the basic scenario and our crack investigators (Officer Brewster & I) will scour this year’s editions to find that one entry. By the end of the year, we will send out an attachment that has this year’s best of and ask the readers to vote on their favorite. In early 2015 we will post the top 10 for 2014.
