And thank you for YOURS, Ricky.  It's a great article, and certainly does 
you justice.  If I were writing the article I'm afraid I'd have to be even 
a bit MORE complimentary.  :-)

I do wish the article had mentioned that I wrote the public i article that 
lured you out to North Prospect St. and into AWARE in the first 
place.  :-)  But then it would have had to mention Susan Parenti, 
etc....and where would it end??  Hahaha!

Keep up the wonderful work, Ricky.

"Aw shucks"
