Wow, what a response! As Greg wrote to me, privately, "The List has spoken." When Steve and I came up with the idea of the Harveys, quite some years ago now, we decided that we, ourselves, would not be eligible. It would be tacky to give ourselves an award, right? : ) However, we dare not ignore the wishes of our friends and peers. I have spoke to Steve, and we will gratefully receive the People's Award this year. I have not yet spoken with Phil, but I certainly hope he will concur, and it is certainly well deserved. As well as being the person who believed in Steve's Brenham mission, and made it happen, Phil has made a truly Herculean behind-the-scenes effort to bring the big Brenham to Tucson, so that many of you good folks will have the pleasure of visiting with it in person. Phil is too modest a fellow to tell you this himself. Steve is on the road, at the moment, which is why he hasn't had a chance to reply. So, Greg and I will figure out a way to do this. Thank you all for your support and good wishes, both of which mean a great deal to us! I have one request/suggestion: let's make the People's Choice an annual event, so that each year, you can all vote for some deserving person(s) for a Harvey. Thank you again, and I am looking forward to seeing many of you here in sunny Tucson, this week and next week. Sincerely Geoff N. Received on Wed 25 Jan 2006 01:41:37 PM PST |
