so happy your knowledge and skills and generosity in sharing the have been recognized for all to see. I admit, I was blown away by what my 4 peers had to say (and no, I dont recall a word) but one gave me a written copy of her portion. The vigil was very humbling in many ways, and I did use it as a time for introspection as well as to garner others thoughts.
I wish I was in a position to attend, but I know my absence wont be noted. Congratulations and yes, it is job; no one who truly has a Laurel would have suggested one rests on them.

IF I may do anything for you from far away in the Outlands, please, ask.
