    Thank you for each kind word -- I really was surprised. After hearing
    all of Brian's comments, I must accede to the selection committee.

    Other than a personal reluctance toward public recognition it
    is still a bit difficult because I am having quite a lot of fun -- both
    with CDITalk, the blog, networking and discussions, as well as with the
    activities and real successes of my program. Somehow, having fun pretty
    much is all I need.

    A lot of credit I have to give to my team of 9 -- they do a great job,
    I've had the chance to learn a lot and grow with this team, and they've
    helped me get as far as I have. Lots to still do, try, and (perhaps)
    repeat over again until we get it either right or better.

    Again, Thanks!!

    Don
