My misunderstanding
The award for best copy editor mentioned in my previous post turns out to be an award for a self-entered contest. You can get the entry form here; click on CONTEST. I should have investigated more closely before posting.
Still, if you’d like to praise the work of a copy editor who has protected you from your own propensity for error (you know who you are), please feel free to do so here in the comments.

I praise my father, who saved many of my high school and college papers, in addition to a countless number of cover letters, from ruin (be it grammatical or content-based.)
He's a skilled copy editor at a major metropolitan newspaper. Perhaps you know of him? :-)
