Congrats.... My wife was worried that we distracted you when the judges were at your plane. She will feel better knowing you still took away an award. 
We got a bronze Lindy in '98 for our Pacer for Custom Classic 150hp class and in '01 I got the lowly "honorable mention" award for my Minimax. My wife's deceased first husband got champion award in about '92 for his plans homebuilt Pitts.
My wife knows more about what the judges look for than I ever did.... Her and her first husband had a business doing high end resto work on airplanes. She often walks around nice airplanes at Oshkosh and starts pointing out to me where the stitching knots were not buried or tapes were not straight etc etc.... I have often had to whisper to her to put her pointing finger away so as not to upset the airplane owner.
