There are simply too many Names to mention... One day I might say more about my frustration with the Topic of Picking Favorites, Ratings, Polls etc...

For now, here is Hint: to me, Favoring sometimes feels as silly as these questions:

What is your favorite finger, or leg, or toe, or eye, etc.?!

But, if I had a gun held to my head, here is a Quick List, in Alphabetical Order By Last Name, so to avoid "favoring"... To make it look tidy, I kept all Columns even..., ha ha ha... :)!

It could be a fun Play & Tell Performance, plus Q & A!
