Subject: RE: Award

Thank you Joe.
When Pat Householder emailed me about it I thought it was a joke. I called him and he confirmed that it had happened.
I'm flabbergasted, gobsmacked, still trying to come to terms with it.
I'm honored no end. It feels unreal.
I remember when Ben passed and this award was made by the USSVI. I phoned Ben on a number of occasions for information and what a character he was.

It is thanks to all of you that found what I was doing worthy of looking at.
Thanks you to all of you who that made this possible.

Hand Salute!
Two!
