He is so deserving and I am so very proud of him. He has worked hard and has never put money first before his art. He has always been more concerned about content. Thank you for believing in him. He's a great guy!!! Gayle Brown Ike,

The only difficulty he faced was convincing news directors that someone of his age and experience would actually work for the same money typically offered to those half his age. In typical "last laugh" fashion, his current employer is building an entire arts franchise around him, letting him dabble and mix between both radio and television as the need arises. He's landed one of the sweetest gigs one could imagine -- I only hope that my calling attention doesn't somehow jinx it for him.

We didn't go into it too much, but prior to his receiving the award, was he a bit down in the doldrums about this -- I mean, at his age, his level of play, etc. Curious...

But the last paragraph really hit home. "Too often we stand in our own way, settling for less, settling for the sure. We sell ourselves short." I couldn't have said it better. Very inspiring story. But the last paragraph really hit home.

“Too often we stand in our own way, settling for less, settling for the sure. We sell ourselves short.”

I couldn’t have said it better.
