I am honored to have received a FIRST Personal Recognition Award from MOE. I wear this pin proudly and each time I put it on I think of all the wonderful people who helped us in Pittsburgh. Some of them also received this award there, but some did not.

I suppose you couldn't give yourselves this award, but the whole MOE team really deserves one. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I really don't know how we would have managed in Pittsburgh without all of your help. Joe, Lou, Bob and what seemed like half the team arrived Wednesday noon for field setup - with your help we had it ready in time for volunteer orientation that evening. Many MOE-ers put aside (or covered) their green shirts to take on staff positions during the event. When we finally finished Saturday awards (at 6 PM!) you, along with members of 291 and 1708 stayed on to pack the field up and organize the crates for truck loading.

You guys rock!
