Is the  description of the cups on the AIS website  acceptable?

John,
 
Probably to 90% or more of the people it is just fine.  Just being an  
amateur historian, I would like to see something about the man for whom it is  
named:  Dr. Franklin Cook, WW-II Naval flight surgeon and  Fifth  President of AIS 
1947-1948.  A notation would be nice about how the Cook  Cup was originally 
the President's Cup from 1947 thru 1965 at which time the AIS  Board renamed it 
in honor of past President Dr. Franklin Cook and established a  separate 
"President's Cup."  Probably no one else cares.  Oh  well.  Those who forget the 
past are condemned to repeat it.
