 * thank you for writing and nominating this very special piece of Americana. It is so well done that I can hear Mr. Dooley's Irish brogue in my head and envision him handing out his little quips to anyone in earshot. Go directly to FAC, do not pass Go, do not collect $200, but you are permitted to carry this nom's AGF symbol with you as identification.  Good job, folks. — Maile  (talk) 14:37, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Nomination passes, AGF on offline sourcing. Preference is for ALT1 and ALT2. Although the original hook is stated in the article's lead, "elite" is somewhat subjective in who that means in the article. — Maile (talk) 14:37, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you most kindly for that high praise. I am planning to take it to FAC but I am waiting for two further references to arrive on interlibrary loan. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to review this.--Wehwalt (talk) 14:46, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
