    Thats cool.

    I was at a diffrent con in 2006 and started chatting with this guy for about 20 minutes about Transformers. wasn't until we were heading our seperate ways that I asked his name and found out he was one of the Hartmans.

    Great news - thinking of bay in a hall of fame just never sat right with me...thinking of him as someone who won some heartman award? I never heard about? Yeah - much better.

    Then continue to have it not sit right with you...

    ...because, based on this, the Hartman Award is only specifically for the fan's choice Hall of Fame inductee. Everyone else, human or TF, who gets auto-inducted is just a normal Hall of Fame inductee.

    Can someone answer this for me because I'm confused (and I'm not trolling, I'm really confused, I've tried searching on the subject). Aren't these the owners of Fun Publications?

    That was really cool of Archer to do :)  I think the Hartmans definitely deserve to be inducted into the human HOF at some point, although that should probably be after they "retire" from FunPub.

    No, neither Jon nor myself own or run Fun Publications. Jon is a department manager at Wal-Mart amd is heavily involved with his church. I am a private saxophone instructor in the Avon, Indiana community school corporation, and am on an advisory board of sorts that helps to come up with ideas for convention toys, when needed.

    Again, it was a very humbling honor bestowed upon my brother and myself, and it is certainly not one that we take lightly.

    Woah Mr. Hartman seems to be taller than a freakin' bear. Either that or Aaron was on his knees looking for his contacts before the photo was taken or something.

    Because naming the award after the two FANS who started organizing Botcons back in the day isn't making Botcon about the fans....:crazy:

    No two fans have done as much for transformers as these two. They deserve the honor, without a doubt.

    Thank you for clearing that up! And definitely a congratulations are in order to the both of you. It's impossible to track the myriad world of who does what in the realm of collecting. Now if only that award came with a prize bonus. Or royalty checks.

    It's cool! My congratulations! It's amazing when certain people make such great contributions to our movement! And it's even better, when they are known and appreciated for it! Now everyone will know who founded BotCon!

    Honestly, I wouldn't care if you two were the majority owners of Fun Pub. For what you two have done over the years for the fan community, this is a very well deserved honor and I congratulate you both.
